Today's family is changing. A majority, not just a few, are single-parent families, blended families, families with multiple marriages, and those living together unmarried. The fact is, the Church must take back its role as the primary foundation for building strong marriages and strengthening the family.

To address this great need, a number of today's leading writers, speakers and counselors have come together to develop the Association of Marriage and Family Ministries (AMFM). Our goal is to help turn the tide of the disintegration of marriage and family by serving Church leadership.

Our mission is to equip, train, encourage, support and resource leadership and laity who desire to lead marriage and family ministry in their local church. Outside of leading people to a personal relationship with Christ, no mission is more important for the Church today. We'll show the way! Our desire is to provide you, the marriage and family leader in your church, with every level of support. So, join us at our first, historic AMFM conference this August.

	"For years I've imagined a conference that brought together family ministry leaders with the goal of building families and the Church. Now, imagination has become reality. This first Marriage and Family Conference will be a historic event and I'm thrilled to be a part of it! Don't miss it." Ron L. Deal, Family Life Minister Author, The Smart Stepfamily Churches throughout the country are acutely aware of the challenges facing couples, families, and parents today. They want to provide support for families, but often don't know what to do or where to turn. AMFM's mission is to connect churches with the resources they need to effectively minister to couples and families. If you want to enhance your marriage and family ministry, attend AMFM's inagural conference this summer. Dennis Lowe, Ph.D. Founding Director The Center for the Family, Pepperdine University We are so excited about the opportunity to attend and participate in this first 'Marriage and Family Ministry Conference'. God's hand is clearly evident in prompting Eric and Jennifer Garcia to step out in faith to call us together for this conference, at this time in our country's history. Never before, in all of our thirty plus years of working with individuals, marriages and families, have we seen such an opportunity for God's people to come together, learn from each other, be refreshed, build new relationships and be encouraged. Everyone in Christian marriage and family ministry will find and experience something for themselves and for those they serve. Come join us. Dallas and Nancy Demmitt, Bridging Ministries Authors, Can You Hear Me Now? Solomon's wise counsel to those of us who counsel others is to keep learning, keep growing, keep listening. "A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel (1:5). " We can't think of a better place to do just that than the 2004 Marriage and Family Ministry Conference here in Arizona this August. Come join us!" John and Cindy Trent StrongFamilies.com
