“Total Family Ministry is a wonderful resource that helps us nurture faith in the home. We have known for a while now that we must empower households to practice faith wherever they are. Total Family Ministry has given us the practical tools, training, and ministry assistance to make it happen. Total Family Ministry gives you more resources than you will use. You can use what fits the personality and needs of your congregation.” – Sarah Hausken
