The Department of Family Ministries focuses on people in relationships within the church and community, in the context of family living. Understanding the realities of family life today, it helps individuals and families to incorporate the everlasting gospel into their experience, enjoy healthy relationships, and grow together in their discipleship. Family Ministries give particular attention to preparing for and strengthening marriage and enabling parents, families and congregations to lead children to Jesus with the values of His kingdom while nurturing them into responsible adulthood.
