Abstract
Prevention is at the heart of faith community nursing. Prevention is known to be cost effective and produce better outcomes. However, putting this belief into practice is a much more difficult proposition. This chapter will present why a congregation is an ideal place to foster an attitude of prevention in the people it serves. In addition, the linking of a congregation with resources in the community that also have a focus on prevention strengthens the work of all organizations involved. Examples of how the faith community nurse uses the beliefs and values fostered by the congregation to support lifestyle changes of its members are foundational to this effort.
