Our Family Altar program aims to build up every home as a spiritual fortress, where every member of the family grows closer to Jesus and to each other. Our ministry staff will work to produce written materials like prayer guides and devotionals, online materials like blogs and podcasts, and recommendations for resources for every stage of life. Families that engage
