Our Purpose
The Family Ministry exists to encourage spiritual growth and provide Biblical training for marriage, parenting and family living.
Our Core Values
- Jesus must have the first place in everything, including family life (Col 1:18).
- Marriage between a man and a woman is a gift from God. God created marriage (Gen 1, Adam and Eve).
- Children are a wonderful blessing from God and a welcome addition to a family (Psalm 127:3).
- Our first ministry is our family and we can't neglect them as we minister to others. (1 Tim. 5:8)
- Parents are the primary and most influential teachers of their children and have been entrusted by God to disciple their children in the training and instruction of the Lord (Deut 6:6-9; Eph 6:1-3).
- Experienced members of the Body of Christ must come alongside families to teach and mentor them (Titus 2).

Family Matters will equip and deepen your personal walk with Jesus Christ. We will discuss topics such as parenting, marriage, and the tough issues of family life, and address what the Bible says about each of them. We meet every Wednesday night @ 7:30 in Patio 3C.
Marriage Matters is for married couples of all ages. We maintain a healthy mix of couples who have been married for a fairly short time and those who have been married for multiple decades. It is that mix of marriage experience that makes the active discussion of God’s Word lead to practical application for each couple. It is our intent for the more mature marriages to come alongside the less mature ones resulting in stronger, healthier, more Biblical, lasting marriages for all who participate .
