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. |

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 Wetmore 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. What a great conference! We appreciate you! Thank you for all your help and encouragement. AMFM will be a great support for the local church. We look forward to seeing you next year. Dave and Carol – Greensboro, NC We have heard nothing but glowing, wonderful reports from the two individuals attending from our church. We are looking forward to attending next year. John and Joyce – Des Moines, IA The conference was great! We'll be back next
year with "our marriage ministry team." |
