Overview

Mission

The mission of faith community nurse network of the greater twin cities is to work in partnership with others to bring faith community nursing to every congregation in the twin cities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Whole-person wellness screenings: wellness planning provides a person centered approach giving individuals the opportunity to take charge of their own health in a safe environment. During the wellness screening the individuals are able to learn body metrics, vitals, receive a cognitive screening and a depression screening, in addition to determining which dimensions of wellness, such as emotional or intellectual, they would like to make their personal focus areas. They develop wellness goals, identify barriers, and are provided with resources to help them overcome their barriers. Through data analysis and care coordination following the events, we are able to identify programs needed within specific communities, where more leaders should be developed, and most importantly enroll older adults in the programs they need to improve their quality of life. Each of our evidence-based programs has been shown to improve health outcomes and reduce risk for injury, illness, or disability among adults aged 60+. For individuals experiencing depression symptoms we were able to offer them one-on-one coaching for 5-6 months through a program called pearls or program to encourage active rewarding lives. In 2025 we reformatted our whole-person wellness screening to center around brain health after eeceiving funding from the Minnesota board on aging for dementia.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
