What results can a church expect from a family pastor?
DISCIPLESHIP
Family Pastors amplify the spiritual leadership of church pastors, extending it directly into homes. By understanding God’s call on Christian parents and equipping them with biblical mentorship tools, we believe disciple-making transcends the church walls. Together, churches and homes forge the next generation of disciples.
GROWTH
Churches possess the innate potential to illuminate and season their communities. By first igniting the spiritual fervor within church families, local churches can resonate more profoundly within their surroundings. The Family Pastor Institute instills a fervent passion for outreach, teaching students to mobilize families as community catalysts. In today’s secular society, churches can still flourish, with Christian families at the forefront.
COMMUNITY AND WORLD IMPACT
Christianity doesn’t just influence; it revolutionizes culture and society globally. This seismic shift begins in local churches and member homes. With parents as spiritual pillars and family pastors guiding them, our communities transform, igniting evangelism and discipleship worldwide.
