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.

Couples, parents, and families
in our churches and communities are in great need of support, encouragement,
and skills. In addition, those who serve families need to be equipped
with the resources and training necessary to address the complexities
of family life.
Today's family has changed and will likely continue
to do so in the future. As those who serve and minister to families,
we must continue to strengthen first-time marriages, biological
parents, and intact families. At the same time, we must equip ourselves
to respond to the needs of single parents, stepfamilies, empty nesters
and the growing number of individuals cohabiting outside of marriage.
To address these great needs, a number of today's
leading writers, speakers and counselors have come together to develop
the Association of Marriage and Family Ministries (AMFM). The purpose
of this conference is to train and equip marriage and family helping
professionals, ministers, and lay leaders.
To do so, we have partnered with the experts
to showcase the finest in marriage and family training and resources
available today, as well as those that are emerging with new and
creative ideas. The conference will equip, train, encourage, resource
and support you as a leader in your work with couples, parents,
and the full spectrum of family types.
Conference Learning Objectives
- Identify challenges that families are facing
today.
- Discuss effective strategies to assist couples,
parents and families.
- Describe the effects of divorce, loss/grief,
remarriage, and/or empty-nest on marriage and individual family
members.
- State the challenges of working with couples,
single-parent and/or stepfamilies.
- Summarize several ways to best serve
families in your setting.

Thank you for a great
conference. As last year, we were educated, inspired, revitalized,
and excited to continue and go on with our ministry at East Bay
Fellowship.
Priscilla
God is definitely moving in bringing his leaders
together. I was amazed at how hungry God’s leaders were to
be challenged to go out there and tell people that “Your marriage
can be saved!” Several stated that they had not felt the empowerment
or permission to be as bold as God was leading them to be. It seemed
that many were simply needing affirmation of what to do.
Mitch - Colorado Springs
Concerning the conference: We loved it. We have
been married 43 years and have been very active in marriage ministry
i.e. preaching, conferences and retreats. We received your publicity
last spring and Golden said we need to be “updated”.
She was right and we were! The workshops were very informative and
the general sessions worshipful and inspiring. You and Eric and
your team did a great job.
