At Faith Promise Church we recently completed a five week family series. It was an awesome series that focused on the Five Family Values adopted by the Family Ministry Team. Below is a recap of the five values.

Make It Personal

• Put yourself first when it comes to personal growth.
• What we model is more compelling than what we say.
• Where are your faith, marriage and family on a ranking of your highest values?

Fight For The Heart

• Create a culture of unconditional love in your home.
• Relationships are built around heart connections.
• Legacy is transferred relationally.

Widen The Circle

• Inviting others to intentionally partner with you to have other voices helping to shape and determine the direction of our marriages and parenting.
• Parents should pursue strategic relationships for their kids.
• Become a valuable contributor to someone else’s circle of influence.

Create A Rhythm

• Much of our everyday life seems to function in a fairly steady rhythm.
• Families want to tap into the power of quality moments together.
• Build a sense of purpose through everyday experiences.

Imagine The End

• Focus your energy and effort on the issues that will have a lasting impact.
• As parents, in the end, the most important thing is our child’s relationship with God.
• We must be intentional each day about what is most important.

How are you and your family living the five family values?
