Disciples Home Missions
A ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
Connecting the WHOLE Body to the WHOLE Mission
Fatherhood
Fatherhood is directly related to all the issues around what it means to identify as male. Disciples Men are having new conversation. They have begun a podcast and more! Check it out here.
The links below offer a starting point for those in a father-type role, though some vary from the overall theology Family & Children's Ministries upholds. Our team is continuously seeking quality resources to more fully support faithful fathers. Check back soon for updates on this list-in-progress.
