Perspectives on Family Ministry


Book Description

Every church is called to some form of family ministry, but this calling requires far more than adding another program to an already-packed schedule. The most effective family ministries refocus every church process to engage parents in discipling their children and to draw family members together instead of pulling them apart. In this second edition, Jones expands the definition of family ministry, and broadens the book's focus to address urban perspectives and family ministry in diverse settings.




Trained in the Fear of God


Book Description

Dr. Randy Stinson and Dr. Timothy Paul Jones have been the primary architects of the theological foundations for whathas become known as “family-equipping ministry”—a recognition that the generations need one another and that parents have an inherent responsibility for the discipleship of their children.










Family Ministry


Book Description

The success of the church's mission lies in large part with the well-being of its families. In Family Ministry, Charles Sell addresses the multiple means by which a congregation can create and sustain healthy family life. In survey after survey, people say that family takes priority, yet family ministries remain scarce in the church, and family disintegration is a significant problem even in evangelical congregations. Family Ministry offers the theoretical, theological, and practical resources for developing needed ministries. This edition reflects the changes that have taken place in both society and church since the first edition was published in 1981.







The Role of Fathers in Family Worship


Book Description

The purpose of this project was to equip select fathers of FBC Clinton, Missouri, to lead their families in family worship by implementing a strategy for discipleship education. Fathers who participated in the strategy were able to understand the importance of their role and responsibility in leading family worship, they were equipped to lead family worship, and the frequency and effectiveness of their family worship brought them closer to one another and the Lord. The Project Director spent a weekend teaching the biblical and historical backgrounds. He then used an accountability strategy for six weeks to reinforce the biblical mandate.
