Stepfamily Ministry

"For Christ Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one,
and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall."

Ephesians 2:14

 

Building Stepfamilies Together

The successful stepfamily does not happen by accident. Healthy, strong and growing stepfamilies are the result of living God's way in every aspect of life. Husband, wife and children grow individually and together when each one looks "not only to (his) own interests, but also to the interests of others" (Phillippians 2:4).  God can build one remarkably strong and healthy family out of two when He is the foundation. The Stepfamily Ministry of Grace Church is here to walk the way with you.

The Stepfamily Ministry is led by couples who experience the joys and frustrations of trying to lead their own families into devotion to Christ and harmony with each other. They invite you to join them in this journey of loving, learning and sharing.
