Family Discipleship Facilitator Training
Concordia Center for the Family (CCF), an RSO of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), unites homes and congregations in making lifelong disciples of Jesus. Through foundational training events, Family Discipleship Facilitators are equipped and inspired to strengthen the marriages and families served by LCMS congregations and schools.
CCF wants YOU as a Family Discipleship Facilitator! This training opportunity is for called and commissioned leaders of LCMS congregations and schools, as well as lay family ministry leaders. Missouri District congregations can receive $200 off registration (first come, first served).
