Family Life Department

Family Life Ministries works to develop resources, coordinate and promote training events and provide networking opportunities for those who work on behalf of families in the Texico Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.  The vision statement is "healthy families for eternity."

Strong families are the foundation for strong churches.  The Family Life Ministries Department works to strengthen families in our churches across the Conference.  Workshops and seminars specializing in interpersonal relationships entitled:  "For Love's Sake" are available.  These seminars include "Just for Lovers" (for husbands and wives), "Affair-Proofing Your Marriage," The Power of Parenting," "Is Sex Really Necessary?" (putting sex in its proper, spiritual setting), "Building Family Ministry Within the Local Church" and many more.  Our goal is to strengthen families and relationships through seminars and workshops.

Sabbath School Department

The purpose of the Sabbath School is to make disciples for Christ.  It includes the nurture of spiritual growth in members and prospective members, as well as, the unchurched who join in the fellowship, study, sharing and service.  The Sabbath School exists not only to minister to its members, but to train its members to minister to others.  It is a school of Christian living, not just an event on Sabbath mornings.

The Sabbath School Department assists churches as they develop Sabbath School programs and personnel.  Workshops and training seminars such as:  "How to Increase Sabbath School Attendance," "Building the Sabbath School Team," "Sabbath School as a Soul-Winning Ministry," and many others are available to help revitalize this critical area of church life.  A strong Sabbath School can be the anchor that holds a church family together and prepares them to reach out to their community.
