My name is Andy Davis, pastor of First Baptist Church in Durham, North Carolina. I am grateful to the Lord for Scott Brown’s leadership of the National Center for Family-Integrated Churches.

The movement to harmonize the God-ordained roles of both the family and the church has its roots in the scriptural mandate for each. The same God that settles children in families to be trained and nurtured in Christ also sets individuals and families together in churches for mutual accountability and encouragement in the faith.

It is my prayer that God will use the NCFIC to accomplish His purposes for both the family and for the church of Jesus Christ.
