Family Ministries School (FMS)

"Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins, and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings." Isaiah 58:12

The Family Ministries School (FMS) is a second level school for students who have completed a DTS. It introduces students to the Biblical foundations of marriage and family life. It has been designed to give spiritual and practical training in ministering to families and targets five major themes related to effective ministry to families:

The Biblical model of family
God's design for marriage
Godly parenting
Christian family counseling principles
The role of the family in ministry

This 12-24 week course (dependent on an optional 8-12 week Field Assignment) for couples, families, solo parents and singles, who sense a call of God on their lives to help restore family life to God's intended pattern. Students can anticipate growth and development in their personal lives, in their families and in their ability to minister to other families.

Family Foundations School (FFS)

The Family Foundation School FFS is run alongside our FMS school. It aims to equip students with the means to disciple families through the knowledge and skill obtained in the course. It will cover topics such as genograms, mentoring and coaching, parenting, marriage relationship and much more. Contact us for more info.
