The Initiative for Faith and Family
The Initiative for Faith and Family (The-IFF) was created by Discipleship Ministries of the IPHC to inspire, equip, and support local churches and families to pass down a vibrant Christ-centered faith to the next generation. The-IFF is made possible through a grant awarded by Lilly Endowment Inc and additional funds provided by the IPHC. The-IFF will develop practical resources for both the church and the family as they encourage parents and caregivers to embrace their Biblical role of being the primary nurturers of their children’s faith.
Because the home is where children and teenagers spend most of their time, their parent’s influence is the most crucial. Jesus states in Luke 18:8 that He will be looking for faith upon His return. Therefore, we desire to be found faithful in helping fulfill this calling by investing in our homes and those diligently leading them.
