Family Life Ministry
At the Central States Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
Who Can Benefit from Family Life Ministries?
We are committed to nurturing connections and supporting church leaders and ministries in their efforts with families. Our ministry equips individuals with effective communication tools to cultivate stronger, healthier family bonds. Family Ministries fosters love and harmony, encouraging families to flourish as part of God's family.
Our Focus
Focused on relationships like husband and wife, parent and child, Family Ministries prioritizes relational dynamics over individual needs. Key areas of focus include premarital counseling, strengthening marriages, parental guidance, and promoting family unity. The department's main approaches involve education and enrichment. In Central States Conference, our focus is on families of various configurations: nuclear families of father, mother and children, single parent families, single adults either not yet or no longer married, empty nesters, grandparents raising grandchildren and seniors. The ministry also provides crucial support to the broader church family.
