Synopsis

What Family Ministry Should Be Your Church's #1 Priority. What can be done to reestablish the home as the primary place where faith is nurtured? Start with pastors who can set the tone for the importance of family ministry throughout the church. Building Faith at Home challenges pastors to do as Mark Holmen did and change from being a pastor who gave little attention to family ministry to being a senior pastor who has made family ministry a top priority in his church. Part of an exciting Faith at Home initiative, this book offers a vision and a practical model for how to weave family ministry into the DNA of churches. Holmen gives pastors the tools they need to consider the level of their commitment to family ministry and an integrated approach that can revolutionize their approach to this vital ministry.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Are Your People Living Out Their Faith at Home?

Lasting, lifelong faith is rarely taught in church programs but is rather "caught" from a lifestyle of faith lived at home . . . but how can your church equip the home to be the primary place where faith is nurtured rather than being a "drop-off center" for Bible education? By becoming a Faith@Home church. Based on Mark Holmen's foundational book Building Faith at Home, this new revised and expanded edition includes everything you need to weave a Faith@Home focus into the DNA of your church community.

Church+Home builds on the ministry concepts Mark has refined through the rapid international growth of the Faith@Home movement. You will learn how to reestablish your church members' homes as the primary incubator for faith by implementing vibrant, effective Faith@Home ministry in your church, no matter its size. You'll also find practical tools for building bridges between your church's programs and members' homes, and hear from pastors, student ministers, and lay leaders whose faith communities are making an eternal difference in families' lives. Your church can put faith back where it belongs . . . Church+Home shows you how.

Find out how your faith community can become a Faith@Home church to grow the next generation of the Body of Christ!
