Professionally, as a whole, pastors tend to be among the unhealthiest when it comes to physicality. Asbury is dedicated to ministering people, not only through spiritual disciplines, but also through the physical. As a temple for the Holy Spirit, our bodies are part of our ministry, and we encourage our students to live a healthy lifestyle. Here is just one of the informational pieces made available through our health and fitness program in efforts to strengthen lives every day.
