How often do you see pastors surrounded by family? In my experience it’s common to see a pastor seated next to a spouse, children, or parents. Rarely have I seen a pastor without some form of family nearby.

“Family values” wasn’t a term created by accident. Families teach us how to care for others and give us greater appreciation for God’s creation.

Families also give pastors plenty of examples to pull from when teaching and leading others. Family experiences are something easy to relate to when growing in Christ.

All Christians should build strong family values and pastors should be committed to family (both literal and the church family).
