The mission of Adult and Family Ministries is introducing people to Jesus through developing a personal relationship with God and genuine relationships with others.

This is achieved through varied initiatives and existing ministries that seek to meet local needs. 

For example, your local Salvation Army Corps (church) may hold a parent and toddler group, an over-60 club, ministry specific to women or men, craft and keep fit classes, parenting courses- the list is endless.
