Marriage and Family Ministry
Family is the institution from where a society emanates. Family is created and installed as an institution by God with His blessings, guidance, and supervision (Genesis 1: 26 – 31; 2: 18-25). Christ has taught in-depth on the family and union of a man and a woman in marriage as one flesh (Matthew 19: 1 – 12).
Accordingly, OECT believes in one-man and one-woman marriage. OECT encourages its members to unite in Christian marriage and provides pre-and post-marriage care and counseling services. Hence, the OECT’s family ministry has the following objectives:
a) To build up the family in the profound true teaching of the Bible and basic Christian teachings and encourage family fellowship and prayer
b) To enhance love, harmony, unity, integrity, co-operation, etc. in the family
c) To assist the family to carry one another’s burden in life with the intention to accomplish the command of the Lord
d) To provide an ongoing teaching, care, counseling, and advice in relation to faith and family responsibility
