It is time that the church understood itself as a leader in the quality "health" business. The phrase that embraces this more holistic vision of health is "wellness." The church is a wellness center. There were 12,000 health clubs in the US in 1993, with 18.2 million members, up 10% from 1992. The biggest health club of all, however, is the church.
