A Blueprint for Rebuilding Church Community

Increasingly, pastors and families agree that many well-intentioned church programs do more to pull families part than build them up. But pastors and families are rediscovering a simple, Biblically-based model for ministry that strengthens the family unit and restores the church's life as a family of families. This book is the prescription for how you and your church can work together to become family integrated.

In a day when the church is following the lead of the culture by splitting up the family, this book offers solutions for helping churches put families back together…and consequently, the church as a family back together, too. A very down-to-earth vision for how church leaders and families can begin to unite church and home is presented along with practical examples of how churches are adopting this Biblically unique approach.

You will discover:

A simple four-part vision that builds families and the church as a family of families.
How youth, singles, children, parents, and seniors can grow and serve together in an age-integrated format.
18 questions you can use to get to the heart of our children, or any one else you may be discipling.
How churches are transforming traditional age-segregated programs into family-integrated ministry.
