Who is Family Discipleship Ministries

Family Discipleship Ministries is a non-profit ministry established in 1994 to support, educate and train the body of Christ to serve the institution of the family. To accomplish this goal we offer Biblical resources for marriage, parenting, dating relationships, discipleship training and youth mentoring in various forms such as books, workbooks, audio, audio/video in a variety of digital formats.

The vision of Family Discipleship Ministries is to equip and support Christian churches, enabling them to meet the needs of families in their congregations . Since we began, thousands of Christians have completed our Biblical training classes in marriage, parenting, discipleship and dating relationships. Our resources have been developed to help Christian churches understand the value in discipling Christians in all areas, raising up and inspiring Christians in congregations to disciple one another in the most important ministry we will ever have, our family!

Have you been blessed by these free resources. Consider donating.

What Parents are Saying About FDM

“We were very blessed by what you shared and taught. I was a little apprehensive going into it but felt those apprehensions disappear. This seminar seems both realistic and practical. It’s also been very convicting since it’s biblically based.”

-Chuck & Amber Rhein
St. Joseph, MO

"I think this seminar is very valuable and much needed for Russian Christian families and non-Christians as well...it gives a biblical view on parent/child relationships and practical ways of applying...makes one think and examine his relationship with his child and want to improve it...on the whole Russian Christian families are either very young or have been together during the Soviet era or the fall of it and...lack strong...biblical foundation in the area of family relationships."

-Pastor Vlad and Svesta Oplev

Moscow, Russia

“It has made us examine our lives and realize that we need to spend time with God daily to build a strong foundation. People often say that children don’t come with instructions. But they do! Those instructions are the principles that God has laid out for us in the Bible.”

-Kevin and Ginger Presley
Des Moines, IA

“I’m very thankful for this seminar. It has allowed me to look at myself with open eyes. I’ve always taken their rebelliousness as an attack on myself…I always seem to get angry because I felt they should know the difference between right and wrong or good and bad. I never really looked at my role as the teacher or minister!”

-Dean Crumrine
Lake Elsinore, CA

“…it was a discovery to find out that my children are the tools God uses to change me…my children are indeed a gift from the Lord and I should be a pastor of them as well as a teacher…they are my sheep who may stray away if I neglect them…I have to keep from having double standards when I am one way with them in public and another way in private. “

-Igor and Jenica Yentaltsev

Moscow, Russia

“This applies to all relationships that I have…I recommend this seminar to anybody who is in ministry or desires to be in ministry, whether they will be working with children or not. This makes us look at ourselves and our hearts and that’s what determines how we deal with relationships in our lives.”

-Ralph & Rebecca Chiopo
Des Moines, IA

I can and do whole heartedly reccomend FDM's Marriage and Parenting Classes. I have seen before my very eyes families and marriages transformed by the grace and love of God in our Church, and that transformation remains to this day in the lives of those who have gone through these classes. My wife Jackie and I encourage you pastors and wives to catch this vision for the precious sheep He has entrusted to you and use these two Biblical tools to help build strong marriages and families in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Craig

It was such a wonderful class and, I speak for my family as well as the pastor’s, perfect timing. As our kids (the “PK’s” of the bunch) are knee deep in the teenage season, and going to the deep end, we have been blessed by Craig’s teaching. It’s a wonderful thing to not be groping around in the dark, but to have a firm, solid grasp on the raising and training of your own children. And it’s we’re so glad to have these resources to pass along to the rest of the body. Thank you for being obedient to the Lord even when it may be challenging, monotonous and tiring.

In His Grip,
Amy

Hi Craig ~

I don’t know if you remember me, but you helped with our son about ten years ago. I still remember how God used you during an important crossroad in my son’s life. It is a blessing to receive your newsletters and see how God has continued to grow your ministry and increase the variety of books and tools available to teach God’s principles about family to people around the world. I ask that God will continue to give me a heart to pray for you and your ministry and that God will continue to provide for the needs of Family Discipleship Ministries.

Your Brother in Christ,
Henry ~ Bonita, CA ~ March 2008
