Families First and Forever

 

FAMILIES FIRST AND FOREVER is a ministry to couples, families and grandparents.  Families are the building blocks of society.  Strong families build strong communities.  Today, many families are overwhelmed by a multitude of problems including economic stress, media overload, and out of control schedules and demands.  Without support, encouragement and know-how, a number of these families will never reach their God-given potential. 

How can families take control of their family life and avoid being swallowed up in the culture of busyness? 

How can couples create a lasting, happy marriage that is exciting and invigorating? 

How can grandparents use their talents, wisdom and love to enrich their grandchildren's lives? 

Families First and forever focuses on these very issues in a series of provocative, entertaining, and challenging presentations.
