CURRENT AREAS OF INTEREST INCLUDE

1. Family Theology

Family Theology is the systematic and biblical study of the family as designed by God, rooted in Scripture, and essential to His redemptive plan. It explores the divine blueprint for marriage, parenting, gender roles, generational legacy, and the family’s relationship to the church and society. At its core, Family Theology views the family not just as a social unit, but as a spiritual institution created by God to reflect His nature, advance His Kingdom, and disciple the next generation. We believe the revival of the church and society begins with the restoration of biblical family life.

2. Educational Ministries

Theocentric Family Education is an educational philosophy and discipleship model that places God (Theos) at the centre of the family’s learning, formation, and everyday life. It is rooted in the conviction that the home is the first school and the first church, and that parents-especially within the Christian family-are the primary educators ordained by God to raisae children in His wisdom, truth and fear. We believe that restoring education to its biblical and spiritual foundations begins with equipping families to think theologically and lead educationally.

3. Intergenerational Discipleship Models

Intergenerational discipleship models emphasize the biblical call for faith transfer across generations, the ecclesia’s role as a multigenerational community, and God’s Kingdom mission. They can be implemented in ecclesial-based programmes, worship, learning, and pastoral leadership development. Practical applications involve developing small group models, creating resources, and involving youth and senior members in community service projects serving God’s Kingdom mission and ensuring younger generations carry the gospel.
