Family Life Team
“Whatever you do for your family, your children, your husband, your wife, you do for God. All we do, our prayers, our work, our suffering, is for Jesus.” Mother Teresa
About Us
Family Life Team (FLT) ministry was formed in 2012 with only 4 families. The mission then was to facilitate families to spend more time with their love ones and get to know other families in our parish. The ministry’s upmost task was to organize family fun time and facilitate parent to acquire the parenting knowledge so as to understand the real needs of their child. Upholding the mission, the team grew in faith and size. Family Life Team ministry now comprises of 14 families. The children of our members now play an important part in our mission where they are tasked and help in our activities. Our mission is to build a community of christ-centered families. Family Support Groups (FSG) are formed for the families to support one another. We believe that we grow together with the families that we helped.
A community of families who care and love their family, encouraging and helping one another in the greater love of God
