What is Faith at Home Ministries and What do we do?
We can assist church leadership to design opportunities for parents to lead their kids spiritually–because what happens at home, is more important than what happens at church.
We can work with churches to become life-long partners to families–from the cradle to graduation.
We develop workshops, classes and small groups that teach and support parents in their role as primary faith influencers to their children.
We research books responsibly as faith enablers.
If requested, we provide on-site classes to train leadership of local churches.
Who is it for?
Faith at Home Ministries is to help anyone who lives at home to become fully devoted followers of Christ: singles, single parents, empty nesters, families, blended families, grandparents.
Faith at Home is multi- generational just like the Acts 2 church!
Why is it Important?
The American church has an average of 40 hours per year to teach your children about Christ. Parents have 3000 hours per year to teach faith at home. A survey of 11,500 children, from 5 different Denominations, who attend church weekly, shows only 1 out of every 10 kids receive any teaching on the word of God or are prayed with at home. There is an epidemic of lost young people who reach college age. Eight out of every ten are walking away from their faith when they enter the work force or start college. This sad reality can be changed by returning to a faith at home church that is in a lifelong partnership with each family.
Where do we start?
We follow the road map of God’s word. In Deuteronomy 6 God instructs “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. and these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” How do we disciple other people, if we don’t first disciple our own families? So, we start today right where we are and ask God to help us to have a love for him that is greater and to share about God with our children when we’re at home around the table or at bedtime or in the morning or any time and when we are traveling in the car to and from school and games etc. We start and God helps us, and we grow and take the challenge to read the Bible together. And before we know it, we claim with Joshua 24:15 “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
