About us...
The Body of Christ Ministries was established in 2004. Their focus is restoring lives through weekly meetings, seminars, conferences, printed educational material, television, radio and educational workshops. Their goal is to provide practical application of life changing truths, impart hope, strength and encouragement for every season in life. Then, train to give out the same to others who are in need.
The center is led by Dr. Kim Sorgent and her supportive husband John. They have been married for 35 years. Together they work as a team to bring the very best in all they provide to others. John carries much of the administrative role and whatever else needs to be done to keep things running smoothly. John has been a large support to the ministry and to those that are served through The Body of Christ Ministries. He is a treasure and blessing to all.

In 2010, Dr. Sorgent experienced breast cancer and all the medical treatment that go along with this disease. She has completely recovered and is full of new vision. Since 2011, they have incorporated a new focus into the already many outreach projects they provide to the community. The new program addresses the needs of cancer patients, family and friends alike. The programs started in July 2011. They will host a number of outreach programs and services to the community to help meet the needs of the victims of cancer. They provide FREE of charge, printed educational material and 1:1 mentoring as well as monthly support groups. The monthly meetings provide a warm, safe and excepting environment where one can share their fears and concerns. The RN facilitator(s) knows how to bring understanding and hope into the current situation, and help one to look at life openly and positively. Hope, education and encouragement are the ingredients provided to each individual for their recovery.
