Ministry for the Whole Person
Equipping churches to engage body, mind, heart, and spirit.
An FLUMC Extension Ministry
Founded in 2018, Pointe of Grace Project is an extension ministry of the Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church, under the leadership of Rev. Lenora Rousseau, an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church.
Our work emerged from a simple conviction:
If we care about discipleship, we must care for the whole person.
We exist to serve churches, districts, and connectional networks by offering thoughtfully designed programming that nurtures congregations and leaders in sustainable, embodied faith.
Holistic Discipleship
Physical, Mental, Social, and Spiritual Wellbeing
The purpose of our connectional ministry is to create programming in partnership with churches and connectional ministries that integrate their population's entire person.
Physical
Honoring the body as a sacred vessel of the Holy Spirit through embodied, trauma-informed Yoga and somatic practices practices that increase resilience and awareness.
Mental
Integrating nervous system and psychological education with practical tools that help leaders and congregations understand stress, burnout, and restoration.
Social
Cultivating life-giving connections through common experiences and healthy conversations.
Spiritual
Rooting every offering in Wesleyan theology, prayer, and discernment so that growth is grounded in spiritual formation.
Designed for Today’s Ministry Landscape
We understand the realities facing churches today: leadership burnout, compassion fatigue, increasing pastoral demands, congregational stress.
Our role is not to replace your ministry, but to come alongside it.
We partner with churches to offer programming that strengthens discipleship, supports leaders, and fosters sustainable service within your existing community.
