Church leaders and members of the FAME congregation celebrated the importance of a healthy mind, body and spirit recently by participating in energy-filled gospel aerobics. The FAME church is a long time advocate of improving health for members of the South Los Angeles community and is a leading church innovator in combining exercise with worship.
“One of the primary goals of the church is to help all of God’s children to live better,” said Reverend Dr. John J. Hunter. “African-Americans suffer some of the highest rates of obesity as well as diet-related preventable diseases. As a church we feel a responsibility to bring this message to the community. We invite everyone to join us in living longer, healthier lives.”
