The focus of Family Ministries is upon relationships. It is a ministry to the "and," such as in husband and wife, parent and child. Thus this ministry concerns itself primarily with relational dynamics rather
than the needs of individuals per se. The basic target areas of emphasis are premarital guidance, strengthening marriage and parent education, with attention also given to extended families, single
parenting, step-family needs, and the family needs of singles.

The over-arching objective of the Department of Family Ministries is to strengthen the family as a discipling center. The family was
established by divine creation as the fundamental human institution and is the primary setting in which values are learned and the capacity
for close relationships with God and with other human beings is developed. Family Ministries seeks to enable families to stretch toward divine ideals, while at the same time extending the good news of God's saving grace and the promise of growth possible through the indwelling Spirit.
