1. Family Theology in HCS

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 in HCS

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.
