The goal of the Health Education Ministry is to increase the health, mental and spiritual well-being of the Allen Temple Church Family and Community. This will be accomplished by emphasizing positive attitudes towards health, increasing knowledge of preventive health practices and providing biblically based tools that will assist in comprehensive self-care.

The Health Education Ministry accomplishes its mission by providing programs in collaboration with community-based organizations, health care and social services agencies throughout the Bay Area.

 

The objective of our Ministry is to educate and empower the community with positive health maintenance attitudes.

June 2025 - Men's Health Month

mens health month

June is Men's Health Month, a time to raise awareness about health issues affecting men, particularly Black men, who face unique health challenges and disparities. It’s important as a man to brush up on your health facts, listen to your body and be sure to get regular checkups. Even if you don’t feel sick, it is important to see your doctor regularly and schedule annual exams. Not only will you live longer, but you’ll also have a better quality of life.

To access the recommended screenings for men age 40-65 visit here. Men's Health Month serves as a vital reminder for Black men, and those who love them, to ensure they prioritize their health and wellbeing.
