A Vision for Dilworth Lutheran Congregation

Home Ministry

"Seeking to strengthen mature faith and positive values in the homes of our congregation, among both children and adults, we are convinced that the home is the primary unit of faith and values formation."

We are convinced that faith is encouraged and strengthen through caring, trusted relationships. We are also convinced that the congregation has a significant role in strengthening those relationship in and around the home.

We are further convinced that children, youth, parents, and adults are best served by partnerships between home, family, church, and community."

To that end we are a Four Key Congregation that encourages homes to take time daily for: Caring conversation... Devotions and Prayer... Regular Worship... and Service to others.

We also believe in the Vibrant Faith Ministry five principles for living and passing on faith:

1. Faith is formed by the power of the Holy Spirit through personal, trusted relationships, often in our own homes

2. The church is a living partnership between the ministry of the congregation and the ministry of the home

3. Where Christ is present in faith, the home is church too!

4. Faith is caught more than it is taught

5. If we want Christian children and youth, we need Christian adults.(Christian Adults are AAA Christians: Authentic, Available, and Affirming)
