THIS YEAR'S THEME

Reclaiming Families

Families are the bedrock of society and we are dedicated to strengthening relationships and empowering community leaders and church ministries in their work with families. The family was established by divine creation as the fundamental human institution. It is the primary setting in which values are learned and the capacity for close relationships with God and with other human beings is developed.


Our Sabbath School department and Family Ministries focus on people in relationships. These value-added ministries provide tools to help individuals communicate more effectively, deepen their commitment in marriage, find the right and best life partner, and assist in becoming better parents. Today's program is for couples, parents and children, single adults, and all members of the wider family circle as we all pass through life’s predictable stages and confront unexpected changes in our lives.


Adventist Family Ministries promotes understanding, acceptance, and love within the family and in the larger family of God and fosters the reconciliation and healing between the generations promised in the Elijah message of Malachi 4:5, 6. It extends hope and support to those who have been injured and hurt by abuse, family dysfunction, and broken relationships. All in all, we want your family to grow in love and live in harmony as the family of God.
