Family Ministry Defining Statement

FAMILY GROUP NEWS
 
Save the Date! September 6, 2008 -- Marriage Conference '08, presented by the Family Ministry of Bethel Church.

We believe that every believer is called to a life of personal ministry. We believe that effective personal ministry begins with effective ministry in our homes. Toward this end, we envision homes that are firmly Christ-centered, where His indwelling presence is truly palpable. We envision homes where every member of the family comes to a saving knowledge of Christ, our Lord and Savior, and where every member is continuing to grow in personal godliness towards Him.

We will strive to realize this vision by faithfully applying ourselves: to bring regular Biblical teaching on timely issues to husbands, wives, and parents; to provide encouraging peer support for our families; to maintain resources for equipping and assisting families to address key issues; and, to make available special events to edify our families and strengthen fellowship with one another.

 

Supplemental Statements

We recognize that as imperfect husbands and wives, we need Christ’s continual instruction and guidance to perfect the wonderful oneness that God has intended for us.

We recognize that as parents, we’ve been given a special calling to instruct our children in the fear of the Lord, and guide them to love Him and His ways. We recognize that we cannot adequately instruct or guide our children unless we ourselves are properly instructed and continually growing in the Lord.

We recognize that all our homes are imperfect, and that many of our homes are broken in some way. Still, we acknowledge that God is good; He is faithful and just; and, that He will meet us where we are, as we are. We believe that if we trust in Him, He will lead us from wherever it is we find ourselves, heal us, and allow every one of our homes to become the vibrant, Christ-centered homes that He desires for us.
