Family-Integrated Churches Supporting Discipleship
Household Of Faith Community (HOFFC) has been at the forefront of a biblically rooted movement since its inception in the 1990s, dedicated to uniting church and home in a shared mission of discipleship. Our focus on family-integrated ministry empowers parents as the primary spiritual leaders of their children, guided by expository preaching and complementarian partnerships between church and household. With decades of experience, we specialize in equipping aspiring church planters through mentorship, resources like our Church-Planter's Toolbox, and a network of autonomous yet connected congregations. Our elders, many of whom have pioneered family-integrated churches, provide counsel on core group development, bi-vocational leadership, and sustainable discipleship models.We emphasize doctrinal fidelity, charismatic ministry, and evangelistic outreach while maintaining local autonomy for each congregation. Through annual retreats, monthly conference calls, and collaborative events, we foster unity among family-integrated churches nationwide. Our commitment to reformation principles ensures alignment with Scripture in all aspects of church governance, worship, and community engagement, making us a trusted partner for those called to establish Christ-centered, generationally focused ministries.
