baptist nursing fellowship
exists to empower, educate, and encourage nurses and other healthcare workers to be on mission for Christ.
You've found a community that understands both sides of who you are.
There are precious few places in healthcare that make room for your faith. Most hospitals don't. Most professional associations don't. You may feel called to pray with a patient and say nothing. You may carry a spiritual dimension to your work that has no outlet and no audience. You may wonder whether other nurses feel this way, and whether there is a community somewhere that would actually understand.
There is. You found it.
what bnf offers
Fellowship. Education. Missions.
BNF brings Christian nurses and healthcare professionals together around three things that define who we are.
The fellowship is what keeps people coming back, because there are very few places in life where nurses who share your faith can also share your work.
The education weaves clinical content and spiritual formation together in a way you will not find anywhere else.
The missions connection is what makes BNF singular. We are the only Christian nursing fellowship with a primary focus on medical missions, and we believe your healing skills were always meant to travel.
from someone who has been where you are.
"I attended a BNF Summit because I was invited to speak and learned more than I taught that day. BNF was where I found like minded nurses with a heart for missions."
Kaye Bender, BNF Member and Education Team Lead
"BNF came at a time in my career when I was looking for a community that shared my faith and profession. After learning about the organization, I joined BNF and found meaningful connections and lasting friendships.”
Emily Johnson
Membership is open to nurses, allied healthcare professionals, and students at every stage of their career. You can engage as much or as little as your season allows. But we think once you find this community, you will want to stay.
