Healthy Church Challenge
Brought to you by UPMC for Life
Introduction
The Healthy Church Challenge is a wellness program designed to help Medicare
beneficiaries reach their personal health goals and lead a healthy lifestyle. Over eight
weeks, participants will have the opportunity to complete healthy activities, track their
progress, and attend free online wellness events and exercise classes. The Healthy
Church Challenge starts on Sunday, Aug. 29, and ends on Sunday, Oct. 24.
Here’s how it works
Step 1: Register your church to participate. All churches receive $800 just for registering!
You can use this money to fund your health ministry or any Healthy Church
Challenge-related expenses.
Step 2: Create a team of individuals who would like to work on their health and wellness
for the next eight weeks.
Step 3: Team members complete healthy activities each week and earn points. Points are
summed throughout the challenge and participants can unlock prize levels by reaching
point targets by the end of the challenge. Additionally, the person with the highest
number of points per week gets a $25 gift card. You can win a maximum of three
$25 gift cards during the challenge.
Step 4: The average number of points your team earns each week is added to the church
total. At the end of the challenge, the team with the highest number of points wins
its church an additional $1,000. Second place receives $500, and third place
receives $250.
Team member registration
Once your church is registered, encourage your church members who have Medicare to form a team
and register. Teams can include both church and community members, but team members must
have Medicare.
Individual team members must fill out a separate registration form. The form includes questions that
will help us better understand the participants’ current level of activity and their overall health. Team
members will bring their completed registration forms to their church contact. All registration forms
must be submitted through upmchp.us/challenge-log.

Tracking healthy activities
Participants can earn points for staying active and making healthy choices. Activity points are
awarded based on the difficulty of each activity and the time spent completing it. The more time
participants spend being active, the more points they earn. Bonus points will be awarded for making
healthy choices, such as joining a gym, getting preventive screenings, doing telehealth visits, or eating
a balanced breakfast. Participants should talk with their doctor before the challenge about which
activities and lifestyle changes are right for them. This information will also be provided to participants
in their welcome packet.
Participants will use an activity log to track their weekly activities. Team members must provide their
church contact with their completed logs on Monday of each week or use the online log to enter the
information themselves. This will ensure that activity points are accurately and efficiently added to
your church’s total activity points. All logs must be submitted through upmchp.us/challenge-log.
