The guiding principles of the Bible direct that Christians nurture the spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs of the individuals, couples and families who constitute the fabric of fellowship in the church. When the church ministers to the needs of families as Christ did, they are restored to wholeness. Families who feel complete, and have harmonious relationships, are more likely to be dedicated to God’s goals (Col. 2:10).
The major functions and tasks of the family ministries coordinator are the following: (1) survey the needs of the church: couples, singles, single parents, children, teens, young adults, mature adults, etc., finding which topics are of interest to them; develop programs that meet the needs of the various family groups; (3) construct a list of Christian counselors to whom referrals can be made.
