Resources for Fathers

Men, you are called to teach your family the Word of God and lead your family to love, honor, and obey God. One element of doing this is establishing a time of Family Worship together. Family worship may consist of:
  • Reading and applying God's Word together

  • Praying together

  • Talking about and praying for God's work in missions

  • Singing together
