This program is designed as a tool to assist parents in developing their childrens positive character traits by helping them understand Gods plan for the biblical family and ways to strengthen family ties. Drawing from the wide array of Promised Land Churchs children and family ministries, CFADD emphasizes parental engagement and involvement in the program rather than just dropping off their kids.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Christian Families Against Destructive Decisions (CFADD) mission is to influence the building strong families and generational legacies through the promotion of a Biblical Worldview and God First Lifestyle. It is our goal to impact 50,000 families throughout the United States with family education, training and marital support. To address the root cause and therefore the societal effects of family disintegration, CFADD's reach is enhanced by its growing network of churches and community organizations providing educational opportunities and resources, family ministry trainings, and family advocacy and through a network of Family Champions.
To realize a greater future of families we strive to combat misinformation and ignorance of family life’s effect on spiritual and personal well-being, recover the family through biblical manhood, enhance the desirability of marriage and family life, assure children have dedicated mothers and fathers to protect, nurture and guide their development toward responsible adulthood, and combat all forms of media violence against the nuclear family.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
CFADD organization leaders understand restoring and strengthening families is a big undertaking but have strategies that will directly impact the hearts of individuals and families for transformation to occur with the result being a flourishing family, family ministry, and community. These strategies include:
Recruiting churches/ organizations to collaborate with for family spiritual, physical, social health within their scope of influence.
Training family ministry leaders to effectively minister to individuals and family resulting in a growing understanding of and desire for devotion to marriage and family.
CFADD trains individuals to be family advocates and or family champions devoted to the strengthen of their extended family and impacting the generation to follow. These individuals create opportunities for engagement and bonding within families while responding to person and families experiencing crisis, or any need for support.
Programs have been developed to reach and address the needs of men, women, children, and college students promoting the success cycle.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
While our paid staff is limited. We have many skilled volunteers that are dedicated. They provide IT services, web development, bookkeeping and accounting services, human resource skills, volunteer management, project management, event planning, fundraising, copywriting, training materials and meet on a weekly basis. We have accomplished so much through dedication of our volunteers and the leadership of our founder. As well as a growing partnership base of organizations who share our values and mission. Our founder Pastor and church are members of the Church of God in Christ the largest black Pentecostal denomination in the world. He holds credentials and serves as a Chief of Staff for NC3rd Jurisdiction and Superintendent of the SC District.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
