FAMILY & COUNSELLING
We exist to support the building of strong, healthy and happy families based on biblical principles. Family is the basic building block of society and is foundational to establishing stable communities. Family ministry empowers and encourages family members to practice Christ- centred values that lead to transformation of society.
Psalm 127:1 – Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain”
We support Campus ministry by developing and coordinating church programs that effectively meet the ministry needs and execute the Watoto Church vision.
WRITING A FAMILY VISION
Strong families are built on shared purpose and intentional direction. We encourage every family to come together and create a clearly written Family Vision that reflects your values, faith, and goals.
