FAMILY MINISTRY AT CELC
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." (Deuteronomy 6: 5-9)
We believe God gives parents (or primary caretakers) the important responsibility of being their children's primary faith teachers and mentors. Developing young disciples of Jesus Christ is our goal 24-7, which means it must be done in the home and not just in church. With that in mind, we seek to work with and equip parents to fulfill our mission.
