Healing Tree Mental Health
It’s a busy season for both our church and for the developing ministry of The Healing Tree Mental Health Inc.
In late 2023, the Church Council and a “Connection Hub” team began work with a consultant to envision and lay the groundwork for a mental health nonprofit, a space where mental health therapists and groups could serve the greater Cary community in a variety of ways. After much prayer and discussion, we chose the name “Healing Tree,” to reflect our desire to help individuals and families see their rootedness and connectedness and in doing so, experience a pathway to healing.
We purchased the domain healingtree.org and have registered as a North Carolina nonprofit. Restoration and upfit work on the Healing Tree side of our facilities is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year, and we are grateful to the Trustees for their diligence in seeing this project through. Next steps include becoming a 501(c)3 organization, developing by-laws, bringing on a Board of Directors, discerning the organization’s structure and model, hiring an Executive Director, and exploring the variety of avenues for grants, philanthropic funding and church support.
There is still much work to be done, so stay tuned for updates and be in prayer as the vision of Healing Tree becomes a reality. If you have questions or ideas, please contact Pastor Rachel at rachel@macedoniaumc.org or 919-851-1551.
