Family Life Department
What We Do
The Family Life department supports and strengthens families at every stage of life, from newlyweds to grandparents. We believe that strong, healthy families are the foundation of a strong church and society, and we provide resources, programmes, and support to help families thrive.
Our activities include:
- Marriage Enrichment: Workshops, seminars, and retreats for couples
- Parenting Programmes: Classes and support groups for parents at various stages
- Family Events: Fun activities that bring families together
- Pre-Marital Counselling: Preparation courses for engaged couples

We address the challenges and joys of family life, providing biblical guidance and practical support. Our goal is to help families grow closer to God and to each other, creating homes that reflect God’s love and values.
