Ministry Team Summary

The Single Parent Family Ministry Team is designed to deal with the needs of single parents and their children. The Church has often relied on Singles Ministries to provide outreach to this rapidly growing and very needy group only to discover that this is actually a Family ministry. Our approach is kid-focused, which enables parents to fulfill their primary function in life – parenting. Often parenting under fire. Through a variety of methods such as written materials, seminars, in-house ministry setup guidance and teaching, we address the full range of single parent family ministry: dealing with the freshly wounded, ministry to kids with identifiable disorders, financial counseling, interim housing, car care ministry, pre-re-marriage preparation, healthy family structures (reaching a “new normal”), children’s healing programs and how to deal with the “Ex” in a way that removes the kids from the battlefield when the emotional bullets get “low to the ground”.

Our resources are available at www.amfmonline.com, on our individual websites listed below and at the AMFM conferences. Please feel free to contact any of our members directly.
