Within the family ministry movement, various philosophies, curriculum, conferences, and ministry models have been historically developed for the Christian discipleship of families. These resources and models have become an integral part of the local church’s ministry to families within the church, the home, and the community. However, as sociocultural shifts occur in our contemporary context, these changes may necessitate future reconceptualization and a critical contextualization approach to family ministry.
