Dr. Paul Lorentsen Shares the Mission of The Neighborhood Christian Clinic on Arizona Midday
When Arizona Midday reached out about sharing the good news of The Neighborhood Christian Clinic with their viewers, Dr. Paul Lorentsen had the opportunity to do something he has done faithfully for more than 25 years:
Tell the story of what God is doing through this ministry.
In the segment, Dr. Paul gives viewers a glimpse of the mission you help make possible through your prayers, generosity, and faithful support.
For those who love the Clinic and care deeply about Phoenix, this interview is worth watching because it shares the heart of the ministry in Dr. Paul’s own words.
The Clinic is here to provide medical, dental, and behavioral health care for uninsured neighbors who need a place to turn. But as Dr. Paul explains, the mission has always been about more than services. It is about whole-person care shaped by the love of Christ.
One of the clearest moments comes when Dr. Paul says:
“We are a Christian clinic, but we take patients of all faiths.”
Then he adds:
“We accept everyone who comes here.”
That is the heart of the Clinic.
It is openly Christian and genuinely welcoming. Prayer is part of the ministry. Spiritual care is offered with compassion. Patients are treated with dignity, whether they are eager to talk about faith or, as Rachel Cole says in the segment, “just want their teeth cleaned.”
Dr. Paul’s response to that was simple:
“Exactly.”
That small exchange says a lot about the Clinic’s witness.
The love of Christ is not only spoken here. It is practiced through patient care, dental treatment, behavioral health support, prayer when welcomed, and the kind of dignity that helps a person feel seen instead of overlooked.
For more than 25 years, The Neighborhood Christian Clinic has stood in Phoenix as a place where faith becomes visible through practical care.
This Arizona Midday segment is a chance to see that mission shared with the wider community and to hear Dr. Paul reflect on why the Clinic continues to matter.
Thank you for helping the Clinic stand strong.
Thank you for making whole-person care possible.
And thank you for being part of a ministry that continues to restore health, restore lives, and share the hope of Christ through healthcare.
Watch the segment above, then share it with someone who would be encouraged to see what God is doing through The Neighborhood Christian Clinic.
