About Us
The Marriage and Family ministry at Hillsboro Church of Christ exists to help individuals, couples, and families build homes that honor Jesus Christ.
Families are the center of faith training in children (Duet. 6), and research has consistently linked faithful families to faithful individuals. Christ-centered marriages and families become “salt and light” in an unstable world and can minister to people who are searching for help and hope in some of the most valuable parts of their lives—the people they call family.
Cultural interest in and recognition of the importance of families is currently high. Significant activities at national, state, and local levels allow (beg) for Christians to provide leadership. The weakening of marriage has been called the most important social problem facing American today.
Our goal in the Marriage and Family Ministry is to provide resources and opportunities for families to grow closer to Christ and to each other, so they can become ministry centers in their own right.
