Family Life

Family is one of God's institutions when He created Man and Woman and united them together in marriage. 

About Family Life 


Families are the basic building blocks of a society; a society and a nation can only become strong and stable when families are built strong.
As a church, we would like to equip and build Christ-centred families with the following objectives:
  • To model and reflect the love of Christ within our families and to the people around us
  • To touch lives and impact the community by impacting other families
  • To help families overcome life challenges

Pre-Marriage 

The pre-marriage journey is important in giving couples a good head start in marriage. Besides pastoral care provided through lifegroups and mentoring, we believe in guiding couples in evaluating their journey together before committing to marriage.

Marriage 

Marriage is a life-long commitment between a man and a woman to each other, and also symbolises and reminds us of the spiritual union between Christ and His church.
We hope to equip and build the marriages in church strong so that they can withstand the different seasons and challenges in life.

Parenting

Children are a gift from God. As parents, we are to be good stewards of this gift that God has given to us by teaching and training them in the Word of God, so that the spiritual legacy can be pass on to the future generations.

Marriage Mentoring

Married couples do go through ups and downs in their marriages. At times, we may need a little external help to walk us through a difficult season in our lives. We have trained and experienced Marriage Mentors who have been through different phases in life and they are able to walk through with you for a season in your marriage. Our Marriage Mentor would help you to discover the strength and growth points in your marriage and equip you with tools that you can use to improve your marital relationship.

If you are experiencing some challenges in your marriage and you need help in this area, you may contact us here.

Becoming Marriage Mentors 

For couples who are already serving as mentors (Step D), they can apply for our Marriage Mentoring class to be trained as Marriage Mentors.

In this class, participants will be equipped with facilitation skills and trained to use a professional assessment tool to help couples discover strength and growth points in their relationship.

Upon completion of the course, participating couples are expected to serve as marriage mentors.
