Family played a central role in man's earliest recorded history. Man and Woman, created in God's image, were joined in a union and given the sacred task of continuing God's creative work: bring more image-bearers into being, love them, and commission them to spread God's good kingdom over the face of the earth. They failed. They chose self-determinism, and their family brought about death instead of life.

But God chose family once again as the vehicle to bring about redemption. Through a family a baby boy, God's own son, would be born. He would extend the invitation of sonship and the rich inheritance of God's family to all who would bear his name. If all who are a part of God's church are family, how does that reality shape our lives today?

Autumn, Angi, and Michael discuss the vision and mission of Church as Family via the lens of the local church family and their personal experience.
