LOGOS EVANGELICAL SEMINARY
Christian Family
Resource Center
Equipping Churches. Strengthening Families. Passing on the Faith.
Building Christ-centered families through biblical truth, loving relationships, and practical support so that every generation may grow together in faith.
Three Core Strategies
From equipping churches and strengthening parents to fostering intergenerational faith formation, the Christian Family Resource Center seeks to address the real challenges Chinese immigrant families face in faith, culture, and generational continuity.
Family Ministry Training
EQUIPPING CHURCHESThe Center provides customized family ministry training for Chinese immigrant churches. An experienced trainer, serving as the program leader, works closely with church leaders to develop a ministry plan tailored to the needs of each participating congregation, whether establishing a new family ministry or strengthening an existing one.
Parenting Seminars
IN PERSON & ONLINEThe Center offers a series of Christian parenting seminars designed to help parents apply biblical principles and Christian values in everyday family life and in the raising of their children.
Intergenerational Family Retreats
FAITH ACROSS GENERATIONSThe Center addresses the challenges Asian immigrant families encounter in passing on the Christian faith. Immigrant Chinese parents and U.S.-born Chinese children often face both cultural and language differences when discussing Christian values and faith. Through interactive workshops, reading groups, and family retreats, the Center encourages meaningful two-way conversations between parents and children on faith and daily life, including sexuality, conflict resolution, peer pressure, and relationships.
