Graduate Healthcare Ministries
We are students and faculty following Jesus together, while participating in God's healing work in the world.
We long for everyone, the people who give and receive care, to flourish and experience God's love.
On campus we focus on:
- INVITATION - Cultivating communities that invite people to follow Jesus
- FORMATION - Encouraging individual and communal rhythms that connect us to God
- INTEGRATION - Equipping students and faculty to integrate their faith with their work in healthcare.
As people serving in healthcare, we:
- Recognize the image of God in every person, treating each with compassion, respect, and dignity
- Lead with humility and dependence on God, always remembering that it is God who brings healing and restoration
- Seek to influence broken healthcare systems so that every person has access to quality care.
Responsive Match Day Prayer
This is a responsive prayer to pray along with 4th year medical students on Match Day. Invite friends and family who are gathered for this milestone day to pray for these students as they discover where the next leg of their journey leads. Together, you will help remind them of God’s faithfulness to them in the past, present, and future!
Prayers for Those Serving in Healthcare
Sometimes it is hard to come up with our own words to pray and we need the prayers of others to give words to our prayers. These prayers are written for those serving in healthcare, whether entering into the pain of another or rejoicing in their healing, they are honest prayers with a God who sees us, knows us, and is present with us.
Commissioning Prayer for Healthcare Students Starting Rotations
This is a commissioning prayer to pray with healthcare students before they begin their clinical rotations. Written as a responsive prayer, it works best when prayed within a community of students, faculty, alumni, and campus ministers. As you pray this prayer with them, you are helping them remember that God is with them and their InterVarsity chapter community is holding them in prayer.
God and the Patient Experience Bible Study
These Bible studies connect the patient experience with the Triune God. The same Father God who sustained the Apostle Paul lives today. Jesus sees each person living with physical ailment or disability as an individual, not an annoyance. He sees their true need. The Holy Spirit speaks truth to God’s children when they don’t even know how to pray. God in all his fullness desires to bring hope, healing, and redemption to all.
