Helping churches understand and respond to today’s

family realities with clarity and care.

Churches are faithfully serving families in a rapidly changing cultural landscape. While commitment to families remains strong, the structures and assumptions guiding family ministry often reflect a different season of family life.

As a result, churches may sense tension, disengagement, or uncertainty without

a clear explanation. The Family Gap provides language and perspective to understand

what many churches are already feeling.

The Family Gap framework is informed by lived experience alongside years of

pastoral care and ministry leadership.

• A clear framework for understanding modern family dynamics
• Language to describe complex family realities without judgment
• Insight into how ministry assumptions affect families differently
• A shared lens for leaders, teams, and congregations

Churches engage with Family Gap in different ways, depending on context and need. Some begin by using the framework to spark internal conversation. Others explore how it shapes leadership training, pastoral care, or family-focused initiatives.

Family Gap is not a template to implement, but a lens to apply thoughtfully within each church’s unique calling.
