Greetings National Child & Family Strengthening Friend and
Partner...
The Institute for Clergy Training,
Inc. is proud to announce and share the latest version of the "Family
Strengthening Covenant." [FSC] (see attached pdf)
The vision of
the IFCT is to make America's Houses of Worship "Strengthening
Families Sites;"
The mission of
the IFCT is to promote optimum child and family
well-being...spiritually, mentally, financially, and physically.
The core
values of the IFCT are the Protective and Promotive
Factors (referencewww.cssp.org)
The main goal
and objective of the IFCT are to engage congregations
of ALL faith-traditions throughout the world to espouse
strength-based, family-centered, and locally-accessible services and
principles that are not unique to the IFCT, but are wholeheartedly
endorsed by the IFCT.
We seek to do this primarily by having
Pastors / Faith / Spiritual Leaders understand the "Family
Strengthening Covenant" [FSC] (copyrighted) which
provides a framework for thinking about and engaging families in
their congregations from a strengths-based manner...ultimately, we
want them to sign and abide by the FSC.
By doing so, they agree to provide
family-friendly and family-centered services through the many
ministries of their house of worship.
Please pray about doing the
following:
#1...download the covenant, click

#2...review it with your
congregational-leaders,
#3...sign-it if you are comfortable,
#4...email us a copy at "StrongFamilies7@gmail.com"
#5...call us at 609-240-1234 for more
information and/or instructions on how to make your congregation
more strength-based."
