The term "family" has been hijacked by companies, businesses, organizations, and even traditional churches to try to create a culture of love and intimacy. However, we all innately understand a culture of family is truly created - through family environments. Kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms, and porches help us create that family culture. If you desire an authentic church community where family love is cultivated organically, give house churches a try.
