Our goal of our Ministries is to affirm the importance of the family as a blessed gift from God "Family as a Church", and to address the specific needs of families as they try to live in a very challenging culture and world. This theme is derived from the phrase used by the Apostle Paul "Kat'oikon ekklesia", "the church in the home." Just as early Christian families were influenced by the unique connection to the church meeting in the home, we will focus on the importance of families being connected to the Church, so that worship (Leiturgia), witness (Martyria), education (Paideia), service (Diakonia), fellowship (Koinonia) are attributes that are known and practiced in the home, just as they are in the Church. Through these programs we will bring more aspects of our faith into the home and help bring more families into the Church.
