Defining your family’s vision and values involves taking stock of what is true for your family already and what you hope to live into as you grow in this area. We’ve compiled a workbook that will guide you as you pray and seek God’s calling on the life of your family. This process takes time and may involve multiple conversations. Don’t forget to take notes!

If you are single, spend some time praying over and reflecting on these questions on your own, first. Then seek out a trusted friend or mentor to help reflect back to you, affirm you and help you clarify what God is revealing to you. Consider whether a few close friends may actually become your family on mission.

If you are married or have children, this process will involve a series of conversations over time. First as a couple and then, if applicable, as a family unit. Begin each conversation in prayer, asking God to guide your thoughts and words. It is important that all members of the family have a voice in the vision and values that form for your family, from the oldest to the youngest.
