Welcome to the Temporary Parish Nurse Website for the United Methodist Church


Welcome to the RNR Parish Nurse Community Outreach Homepage. On this website, you will find information about parish nursing in general and in the United Methodist Church. The About Us page has information about the people involved in this ministry, in addition to a list of current projects. For more information about Rural Nurse Resource, go to www.ruralnurseresource.org

Note: parish nursing is also called faith community nursing. We have chosen to retain the parish nurse title that this ministry began with.

Our Purpose

The purpose of this temporary website is to provide information, resources, and communication for United Methodist parish nurses and for parish nurses serving United Methodist congregations.

In the United Methodist Church, Parish Nursing is under the umbrella of Health & Welfare, General Board of Global Ministries. Patricia Magyar RN, MPH is the Executive Secretary for the General Board. Sharon Hinton, RN, MSN is the Parish Nurse Consultant for the denomination.
