Empowering Pastoral Ministry and Family Life
Welcome to the Ephesians Family
In Support of Family Life and Pastoral Ministry and Leadership
In Family Life, husbands are called to love their wives, wives to submit to their husbands, children to obey their parents, and parents to nurture their children in a godly manner. However, we recognize that Family Life today faces many challenges, including unexpected pregnancies, abortion, separation, and divorce. Pastors and church leaders are also tasked with managing their own families as well as God’s family, which can be a difficult responsibility due to challenges such as time management and financial constraints. Our ministry is dedicated to supporting families, pastors, and church leaders by offering guidance and assistance.

Our free certificate program in theology takes 18 months to 2 years to complete. It involves interactive classroom lectures and discussions. It’s designed to equip pastors and church leaders with biblical knowledge and skills, with the requirement of only being able to read and write in either English or Portuguese.
Our pre-marital counseling lasts for about 6 months for the normal one and 3 months for the intensive one. It is required that you inform us six months before your wedding date so that we can be able to conduct the counseling. The post-marital counseling is a continuous program that is set differently based on our specific members or clients.
Our ministry identifies and assists girls that are struggling with finances to continue with school, are planning or have quit school because of pregnancy, and others who want to go back to school in our “Back to School Girls Program” that includes assistance for girls who are not currently in school but had quit school in the past or were never given the opportunity and encouragement to attend good and quality education.
