Bible courses in Family Studies are designed to provide students with an opportunity to discover how Christian faith influences marriage and family life. We are created as relationship beings and called into relationships with God the Father and with one another. I am dedicated to the preparation of students for the vital relationships you will form in marriage and family life, in your church and community, and in your workplace all in accordance with God’s design.
