This ministry focuses on people. It is concerned with the needs of married couples, parents and children, singles, and all members of the wider family as they pass through life’s predictable stages and contend with unexpected changes in their lives. The church hosts family retreats, seminars, banquets and other fellowship-building events.
The overarching objective of Family Ministries is to strengthen the family as a discipline center. The family was established by divine creation as the fundamental human institution. It is the primary setting in which values are learned and the capacity for close relationships with God and with other human beings is developed.
“Except the Lord Build a house, they labor in vain that build it.” Psalm 127:1
To enhance the quality of fellowship and relationships among church families by promoting the development of attributes that reach families for Christ within the community.
Family Ministries is a ministry of grace which acknowledges as normative the biblical teachings relating to the family and holds high God’s ideals for family living. At the same time, it brings an understanding of the brokenness experienced by individuals and families in a fallen world. Thus Family Ministries seeks to enable families to stretch toward divine ideals, while at the same time ever extending the good news of God’s saving grace and the promise of growth possible through the indwelling Spirit.
