COUPLES For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. (Genesis 2:24) This is a very important ministry in the Church. However, more dedicated and committed couples are invited to take an active role in this ministry to make it the success it should be.
We would like to see Godly families take centre stage in church. Family is the first institution that God brought on earth. This is a training ground for everyone, which means, if the family is neglected we will have disaster in our society. We hope to interact as couples and all those who are married but their spouses do not congregate with us. Our purpose is to draw close to God so that our lives as couples may be impacted by his influence so that our marriages can be blessed by him. This ministry will also be a tool of outreach to couples that are not in relationship with our Lord. By living according to the biblical standards we shall be able to minister to other couples that are struggling. Parents must be brought to a realization that they are the first role models to their children. Our goal is for parents to reach a stage were they can say to their children "imitate us as we imitate Christ." We want to teach parents to not only provide for the physical needs of their children, but also attend to their social and spiritual needs. May they spend quality time with their children teaching them biblical values not only in speech but by example OBJECTIVES:
To encourage a healthy relationship between husband and wife. To encourage families to live according to the biblical pattern. To train parents to look after their children according to the biblical pattern and to bring them up in the fear of the Lord. To raise couples who will not only be role models to their children, but to all those that aspire to marry. TESTIMONY: We would like couples to be a testimony to their children and to everyone who aspires to marry. It is our desire, that couples may be able to teach other couples in their neighborhoods and amongst their friends. COURTSHIP MISSION STATEMENT: To have relationships that mature into marriage MININSTRY OBJECTIVES: - To ensure that relationships end up in marriage - To ensure that young people who are courting are in a healthy relationship, not only with themselves, but with God as well - To teach the fear of God so as to avoid unwanted pregnancies
