This research project articulated a biblical view of the family, addressed the church and family relationship, and expressed how the church can be more effective in strengthening families. The critical balance between church and family in relation to God's kingdom was considered, with the conclusion that God's purpose for the family and the church should be observed through the lens of His kingdom program. A major goal of the project was to determine how the church could build stronger families, so the composition of a strong family was delineated. Healthy families were considered from a sociological and biblical viewpoint and six essential traits were presented as the benchmark for evaluating a church's ministry to families. A case study of Immanuel Bible Church was undertaken in order to learn more about how one church was ministering to families, thus providing a practical element to the research process. The combination of biblical studies, family studies, and a field study furnishes the reader with the fundamental ingredients for a theology of family ministry in the local church.
