Family Camp Objectives
1. To challenge us to consider the family factor in relationship-building in the church.
2. To provide the opportunities to experience ways that could help our relationships at home and outside it.
Parents are the primary shapers of faith and life in their children; and the role of the church is to partner with the home in that process.
