Kingdom Families: Come Home to the Heart of God

By Vivian P.

When & Where:

March 25 - 26, 2004 @ Perrysburg, OH - First Baptist Church

April 15 - 16, 2004 @ Jonesboro, GA - First Baptist Church

Under the leadership of Tom Elliff, the "Kingdom Families" team has immersed itself in prayer, Scripture, and statistical research. Their task was a daunting one: to help devise a strategy that will reinforce the biblical concept of the family by encouraging and equipping those in our churches and our community. "Kingdom Families: Coming Home to the Heart of God” conferences helps pastors, staff members, and spouses bring this strategy to their church. The conference outlines Dr. Elliff's seven pillars of the Kingdom family – scriptural principles for a godly marriage and the basis of his time-tested premarital counseling.

Featured Guests

Tom Elliff, pastor of First Southern Baptist Church, Del City, OK. Tom is a former SBC president, author of several books on prayer and family, and chairman of the Southern Baptist Council on Family Life. He and his wife, Jeannie, have four children and 18 grandchildren.
