Seminar “Healthy Christian Woman”
On March 13, 2026, the annual women’s seminar of the “Healthy Christian Woman” ministry took place at the Second Slavic Baptist Church in North Highlands. This was the sixth seminar of its kind. This year, the event gathered more than 190 participants—women, their teenage daughters, and guests from other churches.
The main theme of the evening was: “The Role of Joy in Personal Growth, Ministry, and Family,” based on the words from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances.”
As part of the seminar, the participants heard from invited speakers:
- Ion Cheptene (San Diego), missionary pastor—spoke about spiritual health and how the presence of joy influences every area of life.
- Elena Rotkin, counselor and certified nutritionist (B.S. in Nutrition and Food, California State University, Sacramento)—spoke about emotional and physical health, balanced nutrition, and a proper approach to diets.
