The Word of God affirms the importance of the family and outlines the divine principles that govern family relationships. As such the focus of the Family Life Department is upon relationships. 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 development of relational skills fostered by Family Ministries empowers young people, singles, and families and enriches relationships both within the home and within the church, the household of faith.
The curriculum framework upon which leadership and resource development are based includes eleven major areas:
- Theological Foundations
- Family and Mission
- Families in Society
- Marriage and Family Dynamics
- Interpersonal Relationships
- Parent Education and Guidance
- Human Growth and Development
- Human Sexuality
- Family Ethics
- Family Resource Management
- Family Ministries Programs and Implementation
Methods therefore being used to implement the curriculum framework are applied through three major mediums: education, enrichment and counseling.
