Fountainside

In an attempt to include persons who are attempting alternative family patterns, social scientists are finding it difficult to find a specific definition for family.  Some would actually prefer to use the term household, rather than family.

As a church, we believe, ?the family, as a social institution, may be defined as the way society organizes itself for the reproduction, socialization, and carer of its young, and the meeting of the sexual needs of its adult members.?

Fountainside has dedicated 2007 as 'The Year of the Family.'  In launching this new series of messages we will make clear that God created us as social beings, needing companionship.  The psalmist was correct, ?God sets the lonely in families? (Psalm 68:6).  The family is God's idea for meeting the needs of His children.

LISTEN ONLINE as we equip and enable each other to address the issues facing them or families and to seek to make them all that God intended them to be.
