Foundation for Family Studies (FFS)
29 September 2025 – 20 February 2026
Our goal for this school is to strengthen and support families in their everyday lives as well as in a ministry context, grounded in biblical principles.
Families will be trained and equipped with tools to build strong marriages, raise resilient children, navigate challenges in family life, and establish a foundation for lasting, sustainable family relationships. The training also includes practical tools to empower them to serve other parents, families, and individuals.
This school will be bilingual (French/English).
The FFS consists of two parts:
Lecture Phase (12 weeks):
This phase includes classroom teaching, workshops, group discussions, personal reflection, worship, prayer times, and more. It takes place in the south of France at the Gagnières Christian Center in a family-friendly environment. Programmes will be available for children during lectures to ensure the whole family is supported.
Outreach Phase (8 weeks):
The second phase focuses on applying what has been learned by serving families and communities. This outreach will take place in a country outside of France.
This course is accredited by the University of the Nations (UofN).
