Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

In the last 60+ years in the American church, parents and grandparents have abdicated their role of raising up children in the Christian faith to the local church. We believe that the Bible calls parents and grandparents to be the primary spiritual leaders and teachers of their children.

To this end, we work with the local church to train and equip parents for this important work.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our primary goal is to train and equip parents and grandparents to teach their children the Bible in the home.

Our goals also include continued improvement of our training events, including an increased number of online resources, and to be in an on-going relationship with the churches and families we serve to see real change in families over the long haul.

We're working to stabilize contribution income by building strong relationships with donors, and increasing income from new products and online resources.

We are continually seeking new board members with expertise, leadership and vision for the future of the ministry. Our values include board members with diverse backgrounds and experiences to propel the ministry forward.

We also value training indigenous leaders in countries outside of the United States interested in using Family Time resources, to include introducing Family Time to new audiences and translating our resources as needed.

We are expanding our networks through relationship building and communication. We're reaching out to new leaders, churches, and personal contacts across the country who share our passion for home discipleship. This happens through both personal references as well as social media outlets.

We are continuing to keep our online resources current and easily accessible. In 2020, we'll be streamlining our web presence and adding new features to our digital resource library.

We are networking with our current board members and in our community to find board members with specific areas of expertise such as marketing, finance, product development, fundraising, nonprofit ministry experience, and more.

We are a very well-connected organization. We partner with other like-minded ministries, such as: National Center for Biblical Parenting, Visionary Family, Concordia Center for the Family, and contribute to online communities such as Ignite the Family.

Our current financial position allows us to move forward some immediate projects (i.e. digital products) with the expected outcome to be additional revenue to continue more income generating projects (i.e. new video resources). We've adapted to COVID-19 and made necessary changes to both reduce or re-direct spending while providing cost effective resources to those who are in need of the critical support we provide.

As a ministry, we have accomplished much since our beginnings nearly 20 years ago, but with changes in technology we still have much work to do.

Our mission is the same today as it was at our beginning: to train parents to teach Christian principles and values in the home. The means, parents and children spending time in the Bible together in such a way that their hearts and lives and transformed.

To this end, we have accomplished sharing this important message to parents and grandparents, and in churches, around the country and across the globe. We want to continue to pursue this goal and reach even more families.
