Fortunately, more church leaders and lay members are recognizing
the great need to minister to couples, parents and families in their congregations
and communities. However, they often do not know where to turn for the necessary
resources and assistance to meet this need. In addition, in order to remain responsive
and relevant to their members and the culture, churches are increasingly aware
of the need to address the concerns of various types of families. These types
include not only first-marriages, biological parents, and intact families, but
also remarrieds, single and adopted parents, stepfamilies, and those living together
unmarried.
The fact is, the Church must take back its role as the primary
foundation for building strong marriages and strengthening families, regardless
of the form they take. To address these great needs, a number of today's leading
writers, trainers, speakers and practitioners have come together to develop the
Association of Marriage and Family Ministries (AMFM). Our goal is to assist the
Church and other support organizations in serving the needs of the couples, parents
and families that God has given them to serve.
Our mission is to equip, train, support, resource and encourage
those that lead or desire to lead in marriage and family ministry, in the church
as well as other supporting organizations. Outside of leading people to a personal
relationship with Christ, no mission is more important for the Church today.
In fact, we believe proactive strategies in marriage and
family ministry can be the greatest tool for growth a Church can have today. Take
a lead in your church or community and join us for an inspiring time of training,
teaching, and equipping along with a great time of fellowship with others called
to this vital area of ministry.
