Family Ministry and The Church

A Leader's Guide for Ministry Through Families

About this book

Chris Shirley and his contributors provide a guide to establish a theological and practical framework for family ministry both inside and outside the church. Dr. Shirley helps the reader discover the role of the church in strengthening families and equipping them for ministry. The writers open a window showing practical steps to provide comprehensive spiritual development for every family member at any life stage. Families today face tremendous cultural and spiritual challenges. This calls for vigilance among the body of Christ and its leaders to build a solid discipleship framework. This work is an excellent resource for ministry leaders as well as college and seminary students. Topics include defining family ministry, equipping every member of the family for ministry, the pastor's leadership, strengthening marriages and parents, equipping grandparents, biblical responses to contemporary family issues, and several more. Dr. Shirley is joined in writing this work by the following contributors: Scott, Floyd, Brian Haynes, Karen Kennemur, Richard Ross, and Paul Stutz.
