Keeping you healthy in ministry through Vitality and Concordia Health Plans
*Not enrolled in Concordia Health Plans? Many health providers offer similar wellness programs and incentives. We encourage you to check with your current provider to see what resources are available to you.
Let’s Start Here
Ministry life is full.
Caring for your health can easily slide to the bottom of the list.
This page isn’t here to guilt you into doing burpees. It’s here to help you understand what support you already have and how to actually use it.
Because when you’re cared for, you can care for others with more steadiness.
So What Is Vitality Really?
Vitality is an app available to Concordia Health Plans members that:
- Connects you to your wellness resources in one place
- Helps you set small, realistic goals
- Gives you points for things you’re probably already doing
- Turns those points into gift cards
Walking? Points.
Preventive care visit? Points.
Bible study? Points.
Saving for retirement? Also points.
It’s basically a wellness scoreboard for real life.
And just to be clear, this is not just about physical health.
Health is more than your step count.
It includes:
- Physical health
- Mental and emotional health
- Spiritual rhythms
- Financial wellness
- Preventive care
- Healthy habits that build over time
That’s why you earn points for all of it.
And it all adds up.
Not just toward a gift card. Toward a healthier, steadier you.
What Happens When You Actually Use It?
When you use Vitality consistently, you build awareness and momentum around your health.

The Resources You Might Not Know You Have
Vitality isn’t just about points. It connects you to real support.
Here are a few of the wellness tools available through Concordia Health Plans:
Mental Health Support
Confidential counseling and support for you and members of your household through Evernorth Confide (EAP).
Because sometimes you need someone outside your congregation to talk to.
Diabetes Solutions
Support for pre-diabetes or diabetes management with tools to help you take your next step confidently.
Weight Management
Not about being “thin.” About building sustainable habits that reduce risk and support long-term health.
Heart Health
Resources to help you understand cardiovascular risk and take practical steps toward a stronger heart.
Digital Physical Therapy (Sword Thrive)
At-home PT for back, joint, and muscle pain with a licensed therapist guiding you virtually.
Yes, even that mysterious “ministry chair” back pain.
