MISSION:  Adventist Family Ministries seeks to strengthen, inspire hope and bring healing to marriages, families and individuals through the abundant love and saving grace of Jesus Christ.

VISION:  To prepare families for the Kingdom of God and to help hasten the coming of Jesus Christ.

At University Parkway Seventh-Day Adventist Church we know that Families are important to God because He created them.  Therefore, families are important to our church.  Strong marriages and strong families make strong churches for Jesus and our community.

“Society is composed of families, and is what the heads of families make it.  Out of the heart are ‘the issues of life’; and the heart of the community, of the church and of the nation is the household.  The well-being of society, the success of the church, the prosperity of the nation, depend upon home influences.”  Adventist Home page 15

“The greatest evidence of the power of Christianity that can be presented to the world is a well-ordered, well-disciplined family.  This will recommend the truth as nothing else can, for it is a living witness of its practical power upon the heart.” Adventist Home page 32
