Focus
GoHealth Focus is a way of exploring in depth the issues which affect us as Christians and human beings. It enables us to zoom in on topics we want to talk about, and to feel like we’ve properly got to grips with them.
The GoHealth year is divided into three seasons of focus with periods of rest and meditation in between each.
Each Focus Topic will be kicked off with scientific research by top experts, and drive articles, blog posts, podcast episodes, prayers and practices during the three months that follow.
We hope to generate an inspiring conversation that involves al of our members in this community. One that places value on both spiritual and scientific ways of looking at the world.
Current Focus
The Lift programme
Do you long for better well-being but feel stuck on where to start? Tried to build healthy habits but struggled to make them stick? You’re not alone – and there’s a way forward.
The LiFT programme is a refreshing, faith-rooted approach to well-being that nurtures your body, mind, and spirit. Grounded in biblical wisdom and shaped by insights from medical professionals, LiFT offers practical guidance on managing stress, improving sleep, nourishing your body, moving with joy, strengthening mental and spiritual health, and deepening relationships.
Registration is now closed, but we will be rerunning the programme soon.

Our vision
To see and be flourishing communities made up of flourishing individuals
The Church is at the heart of our vision. We want churches to be resourced and inspired to help individuals and communities flourish through worship, radical love and inclusion, serving those in pain, and demanding justice and peace. It is God who enables this work – we are called and invited to join in.
Our purpose
To equip and inspire people to nurture health and healing in ourselves, our communities and our world
Our work is empowered by God and founded on the command of Jesus to his disciples to heal, recognising that healing has always been at the heart of God’s relationship with creation. We weave together the threads of faith, community and modern medicine (with its deep roots in Christian theology) to activate people to be confident in a holistic approach to health.
Your work has opened my eyes to the fact that healing is part of the Church’s core business!.

How you can get involved
The Everyday Healing Course is the best way to get involved in our vision and purpose because we believe that we are all called to be a person of healing in the world in the name of Jesus Christ. The course will allow you to explore in depth our approach to health and healing in the Christian faith and find the confidence and community you need to express your vocation today. It is the entry point for the Healthy Healing Hub Network, and strongly encouraged for the GoHealth Community members.

We are booking well in advance so get a place now!
We have thoroughly enjoyed the rollercoaster of the past four weeks. So many moments of wow, sadness, thought provoking, daunting, inspiring and we both agreed last night when it finished, that we were sad that it was the last one. So from the bottom of my heart thank you. It has been a privilege to spend this short time with you.

The Chrism Journal
To deliver our purpose and vision, we engage with science, the world and our communities. We take time to learn from the experts – facilitate cross sector and inter disciplinary dialogue, in order to curate, shape content.

The Healthy Healing Hubs Network
The Healthy Healing Hub Network inspires church leaders and their congregation to rediscover the connections between health and mission and be confident about delivering it in the complexities of the world.
Churches are places where people want to find healing and where members want to be equipped to take this message into places of suffering – we offer the training, support and resources needed to deliver this and grow the church.
Opportunities to learn, reflect and connect…
