INTRODUCTION:
Theology which includes spirituality, faith, and religion has always concerned itself with liberating persons and restoring community with one another. As some modern trends of intellectual thought have come to recognize faith as a part of public health, it appears more work needs to be done. Because of the frayed past of westernized religion on colonized communities, a historical precedent has been set that currently impacts that task.

METHODS:
A historical-theological analysis of the fragmentation between faith and health was conducted. A reinterpretation of sacred texts applied to the practice and connection to spaces surrounding health: Mental Health, Public and Preventive Health, and Medicinal Health. Messages were used to clarify the connection of faith and health in worship spaces. Scriptural studies were taught surrounding areas of faith and health to small groups of congregants. Group discussions were then conducted in these areas.

RESULTS:
Congregants who participated in the discussions shared the testimonies of their personal outcomes from being a part of the group. Ten percent of respondents showed a change in attitude towards a realistic connection of faith and health.

CONCLUSIONS:
Further dialogue and discussions are needed to encouraged groups of faith to participate in the decolonizing of community and public health spaces. Continued conversation and participation in health spaces can positively impact community.
