Family Ministries

At Southern Cross Church we beleive that Family is central in nuturing faith and passing down spiritual values from one generation to the next. The Bible affirms the centrality of the family unit in nurturing faith and passing down spiritual values from one generation to the next. Several passages highlight the responsibility of parents and the family in the spiritual upbringing of children. By fostering an environment of love, prayer, and biblical instruction, families become channels of God’s grace and truth.

Why we think family ministry important?

Spiritual Formation: Family ministry provides a platform for spiritual formation within the home. As parents prioritize faith development, children witness firsthand the transformative power of God’s Word, leading to the establishment of a firm foundation rooted in Christ.

Intergenerational Discipleship: Family ministry encourages intergenerational discipleship, where individuals of all ages learn from and engage with one another. Older generations mentor and guide the younger, passing on wisdom, experiences, and spiritual insights. This creates a holistic environment where each member contributes to the growth of the family as a whole.

Stronger Marriages: A focus on family ministry strengthens marriages by emphasizing mutual support, shared values, and a commitment to spiritual growth. By prioritizing the marital relationship and investing in its well-being, families become fortified, fostering stability and resilience in the face of challenges.

Nurturing Faith: Family ministry fosters an environment where faith is nurtured and celebrated. Through family worship, prayer, Bible study, and intentional conversations, individuals of all ages grow in their understanding of God’s love, grace, and purposes.

Family ministry is an integral part of a vibrant Christian community, with its roots firmly grounded in biblical teachings. By recognizing the significance of family in spiritual growth and diligently embracing the responsibilities bestowed upon them, parents and families can cultivate an environment where faith thrives. At SCC we try and blend the different age groups into one with adults, kids, youth and those who have left school and proceding on to college, university or the wider outside world.
