Family Ministries at Christ Church seek to equip and encourage families to faithfully pass on the gospel to the next generation.
INTRODUCING FAMILY MINISTRY NIGHTS
Family Ministry Nights are fun gatherings for the whole family wherein we hope to strengthen our families to build joyful, Christ-honoring homes.
We will meet on the 4th Wednesday evening of each month (see dates below) from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at Operation Moblization (285 Lynnwood Ave in Tyrone). The dates for Spring 2023 are:
Spring 2023 // January 25th, February 22nd, March 22nd, April 26th
STUDY FOR SPRING 2023
Workshop for Adults - Tending the Garden: Stewarding All of Life Under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We hope you will join us for a 4-part workshop series for adults at our Family Ministry Nights called, Tending the Garden. This workshop will explore how the cultural mandate (Gen 1:28) has implications for how believers live under the Lordship of Christ in relation to themselves, their families, their church, and the current culture. No need to register, all are welcome!
Study for Youth & Children - Our youth and children will be studying Paul's letter to the Romans and considering "God's Powerful Gospel." Studies will be tailored for age-specific ministry. We look forward to investing God's Word and fun relationships with our youth and kids!
THE SCHEDULE FOR FAMILY MINISTRY NIGHTS
- Family Worship Time (30-35 min) // We want to carve out time for families to *rehearse* family devotional time together. During this time, the Elders will lead families in what a fruitful time of being in God’s Word together as a family can look like. This will be a hands-on time for families to spend time together reading, praying, and singing God’s Word together! Anyone is welcome and families are encouraged to invite single adults to join with their family!
- Age-Specific Ministry Gatherings (45-50 min) // This will be a time wherein we will invest God’s Word for the various life stages of our children and parents.
- For Babies & Toddlers // A safe environment where little ones can play under the care and supervision of MinistrySafe trained Christ Kids workers.
- For Children // Elementary age children (K-5th) will gather together for a fun time of learning and playing with one another under the care and supervision of MinistrySafe trained Christ Kids workers.
- For Youth // Those who are 6th-12th grade will gather together for a time of building relationships with one another and consider the truth of God’s Word together under the leadership of Ministry Workers trained by the Pastor/Elders.
- For Adults // Workshops will be aimed towards how to practically live in light of the gospel in various aspects of life.
THE BIBLE'S VISION FOR FAMILY DISCIPLESHIP
God has given the unique and important responsibility of passing on the gospel to the next generation to believing parents. God has so designed the family unit that parents would preach, believe, and embody the gospel in their homes in such a way that their children get a clear picture of the message of the gospel and the kind of life God has designed it to create. Family Ministries at Christ Church are designed to encourage, equip and empower these families to pass on the gospel to the next generation. The local church is called to come alongside families for this purpose. We hope that many in the coming generation will be drawn to Jesus Christ through our ministries and life together.
