Children's and family ministry
Resourcing children and families in their Christian faith and ministry - bringing the Bible and faith to life
Bringing the Bible and faith alive
For over 20 years, BRF has been supporting children's and family work in churches.
Through Parenting for Faith, we are helping Christian parents raise God-connected children and teens.
We also support churches and families as they explore faith with under 11s through the BRF Ideas Hub; the Faith in Homes Facebook community; and our books.
The church which welcomes children, accepts their gifts and ministries, meets their needs, advocates justice and seeks new life with them, joins them in challenging evil with love and truth, continues to learn with and from them the values of the Kingdom by living them out, is a church which is good news not only for children and its adult members but for the world.
