You are visiting the website of the Department of Family Ministries of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. We are dedicated to strengthening home relationships and empowering churches in their work with families.  Family ministry focuses on people in relationship.  It is a ministry to relationships—to the “and” that connects husband and wife, parent and child, brother and sister, as well as family and family to bring a cluster of families together in fellowship as the family of God.

At this site you will find resources, news, and ideas that will help you to launch and maintain a family ministry, along with information about who we are, the world organization of Adventist Family Ministries, church position statements on family issues, and our mission and philosophy.

We welcome your comments. Enjoy your visit with us!
