In an age of big church debt and big church programs that tend to divide parents and children and invest the hearts of our youth more with their peers than their families, what’s a family to do? In an age of uncommitted families and rabid individualism, what’s a local church to do? How do we rescue our children from the youth group culture and build family-friendly local churches? These issues and more are the subject of Vision Forum Ministries’ first regional Uniting Church and Family Conference. A follow-up on the 2002 National Conference to Unite Church and Home, this regional conference sponsored by the Five Lakes Fellowship, will be held this year on October 17-18 in Flint, Michigan and will feature myself, Scott Brown, and Phil Lancaster as keynotes.
