The primary objective of Family Life Ministries is the aspiration to achieve all that God desires for families within our church. We define family as the relationships that are the building blocks of our church community. Couples, parents and children, single adults, and all members of the church community are integral components of the church family. Through the strengthening and enrichment of these relationships, Family Life Ministries strives to enhance the spiritual and emotional experience of the individual and the community as a whole.
Because no relationship is the same or has the same needs, Family Life Ministries incorporates several different methods for relationship enrichment. Relationship seminars, family focused worship services, church retreats, and social events are utilized to refine relationship skills and provide an environment where family bonds can grow and flourish.
Paradise Valley Family Life Ministries hopes that through the fortification and enhancement of our family relationships, we can learn to express the love of Jesus more effectively to one another. Additionally, although living in a fallen world, we pray that by maximizing the blessings of family, we can experience a preview of the joy that awaits us in Heaven.
