The Church's Role in the Family
Life is done best in the context of community
The Church is community
The church is simply the gathering of believers.
The big C church or catholic (universal) church is all believers in the world.
The little c or local church is a gathering of believers who have agreed to submit to the same local authority and do the work of the gospel together.
A local church is a local community of believers.
The church is not a building.
It is not clergy.
It is the living, breathing Body of Christ.
- key
God is community
God is one God who has eternally existed in three persons.
, (The Holy Trinity)
Love is a defining attribute of God or better said God is love.
Love is expressed and has always been expressed in the presence of the Trinity even before creation.
Most of God's commands can only be obeyed in the presence of others (community)

Wisdom says life is better together.
Marriage is community and is good and it is a picture of Christ and His Church
Family is done best in the context of community
Therefore the life of the family is enhanced towards godliness when it exists in the context of a community of believers (the church)
Necessary Components to Family Life
Providing for the needs of the family.
We have become incredible self-sufficient due to the wealth and prosperity of our nation.
But what happens when we cannot care for our own family.
Sadly the church has not fulfilled its mandate and the government has taken the responsibility of caring for the indigent.
But Scriptures command and example is that the church cares for its own.

Marriage.
, Marriages are in a great deal of stress and each marriage forms the nucleus of that family.
The church has the answer to make marriage work and work well.
God created male and female and designed or ordain the institution of marriage.
He knows how it works best.
And if done in the context of community that provides support, encouragement, admonishment and acceptance then it can blossom and experience true oneness.

This is a challenging task.
When a child is dedicated in one of our services we are making a covenant with that family to come alongside them and aid them in raising their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord
What the Church does
Our children's and student ministries provides dedicated adults who want to invest in your children and teach them about Jesus as you do the same.
This helps them gain an additional voice saying, "This is the way - walk in it."
This is done on our regular Sunday morning small groups and during our Wednesday night AWANA and Student Ministries.
Retreats - we offer Mother & Daughter and Father & Son retreats to give you an opportunity to get alone with your child(ren) and center yourselves on Christ for the weekend.
Events - VBS, Camps, Mission trips, Believe Weekend, etc. are all events geared to draw your kids closer to Jesus.
Pastor Picks - recommended resources to aid you in discipling your kids
Serving - God's original plan was that from one family would come a blessing for all nations (, ).
God wants us to use our gifts and resources to be a blessing to others.
; When you come together in the community of a church the opportunities to serve and put your time, talent, and treasures to us increases exponentially.
What the Church does
There is no end to the service opportunities at Oakwood.
