Our History
The Faith Community Nurse Network was founded in 2004 by an interfaith group of faith community nurses and a public health nurse to help faith community nurses serve people throughout the Twin Cities. Faith community nurses (also known as parish nurses or congregational nurses) had been working in the Metro Area since about 1980, but many of them were isolated, had few resources and needed community connections and continuing education. Today, the Network provides programs and services to over 400 faith community nurses working out of over 230 Jewish, Christian, and Muslim congregations.
