Family Ministries

Family Ministries is a branch of YWAM International with a vision to reach families and couples by restoring, training, and mobilising families to transform society.

In the Cévennes, our vision is to restore the idea of the “Little Church”—the family as a place where faith is lived, learned, and shared. Historically, the Huguenots understood the family as a “Little Church of Christ,” a spiritual community where family members grew together in faith and shaped their daily lives around God. We believe this vision is deeply relevant to the Cévennes today, building on the region’s rich Protestant heritage.

We serve families locally, nationally, and internationally through family afternoons, seminars, marriage coaching, and the Foundations for Family Ministry School (FFM). We also offer or connect people with online training opportunities.

Our team is led by the Parslow family, together with other staff and occasional volunteers who support specific programmes and activities. Through these different areas of ministry, we desire to see strong, healthy families restored and equipped to become a positive influence in their communities and beyond.
