Blessings of Membership
The primary blessing of membership in Preserve Christian Family Ministries, Inc. is being part of a remnant of one million families who are willing to stand together before the Lord and affirm our determined resolve: We will not allow our children to be morally and spiritually abused!
Dr. James Dobson, a Christian evangelical psychologist and founder of Focus on the Family, had emphatically stated [May 4, 2016], “Christians [leaders, pastors, parents] have ‘dropped the ball’ when it comes to acting to preserve families and protect children. Our kids are being inundated by evil, and what have we done? We’ve sat around and watched it happen.”
It is PCF Ministries’ determined purpose to mobilize one million families to become actively involved in this battle to protect the moral and spiritual well-being of children. There is an urgency here! If we lose this generation of children, we will have lost it all for all future generations!
Eligibility
Membership in Preserve Christian Family Ministries, Inc. is open to any individual, or a family unit consisting of husband and/or wife and their children, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, and age, who willingly sign the Family Pledge as their commitment to stand steadfast and immovable with Christ the Lord, and who wholeheartedly embrace PCF Ministries’ Statement of Faith. Membership is non-voting.
Family Pledge: https://family-pledge.org/home/
Statement of Faith: https://family-pledge.org/statement-of-faith/
Membership Fee
The membership fee for an individual, or a family unit consisting of husband and/or wife and their children, is $15.00. Your signature is inscribed on the Family Pledge through membership in Preserve Christian Family Ministries, Inc.
Annual Membership Dues
The amount required for annual membership dues is $15 each year. The first annual dues are payable by January 15th of the year following becoming a member [when signing the Family Pledge is dated between January 1st and August 31st], and by January 15th of the second year following becoming a member [when signing the Family Pledge is dated between September 1st and December 31st]. Annual dues thereafter are due by January 15th each year. Continued membership is contingent upon full agreement with PCF Ministries’ Family Pledge and Statement of Faith, and remaining current in the payment of annual dues.
Funding
Funding for our services, programs, and activities is accomplished primarily through an initial $15 membership fee, and annual dues of $15 thereafter. We will also accept donations through our website https://family-pledge.org/support/. Your annual dues of just $15 per year will provide the necessary financial resources enabling us to fulfill our mandate to encourage, exhort, and assist families in this battle for the moral and spiritual well-being of our children.
PCF Ministries is NOT a political organization whose purpose is to influence or change laws; other Christian organizations are engaged in those endeavors. All of our resources will be used solely and only to provide direct assistance and support to individual families, whenever deemed necessary.
Qualifications of Leadership
No one is qualified to be a leader in Christian ministry unless the Holy Spirit has specifically placed them in that position and for that purpose. A theologian is not qualified to teach the Bible apart from the leading of the Spirit to do so. This is true because ministry for Christ is the work of the Holy Spirit; both the results and all the glory belong to Him. Be assured that the Directors of PCF Ministries fully embrace the Lordship of the indwelling Holy Spirit in all that we do, and as such are Spirit-led children of God.
The three Founding Directors have among their individual personal qualifications: 33 years of dedicated Bible study; written numerous manuscripts and articles on Bible topics; published author of several Biblically based books, including the primary resource for PCF Ministries, When God Created The Heavens and The Earth; published in a National Christian magazine; guest speaker on several Christian radio broadcasts; conducted correspondence Bible studies; several missionary tours of duty in Africa; conducted prison ministry Bible studies; former church Worship Leader; retired school teacher; former Christian Kids Ministry leader; members of church Elder Board; ordained minister; chaplain, Billy Graham Rapid Response Team; chaplain, local police precinct; retired corporate CEO, CFO; retired corporate Vice-president; President of a Florida Condominium Association; corporate Founder and Executive Officer.
Benefits of Membership
Each member is eligible to receive any and all of the services offered by PCF Ministries, as set forth in the following Scope of PCF Ministries Activities:
SCOPE OF PCF MINISTRIES ACTIVITIES
Teaching, Training, and Counseling
PRESERVE CHRISTIAN FAMILY MINISTRIES, INC. anticipates providing teaching, training, and Biblical counseling to families, church Sunday School programs, preschool programs, and any other group of interested persons, for the purpose of fulfilling our mandate to the Christian community to protect the moral and spiritual well-being of children. These services may be provided whenever requested, and shall take place at the location provided by the group or person requesting it.
Educational Materials and Instruction
PCF Ministries provides educational materials and instruction through its website https://preservechristianfamily.org. The primary resource is a book written for young children entitled “When God Created The Heavens and The Earth” by Michael Zanelli. It is probably the only account of Creation [Genesis Chapter 1] currently on the market written and delicately amplified to enable young children to clearly understand God’s principles of human life set forth in Creation through His Divine institutions of marriage, family, and gender. The entire book [“Children’s Creational”], as well as a description of the book, may be found in the photo gallery section of this website, and in the photo gallery section at: https://preservechristianfamily.org.
The book may also be purchased on-line at Xulon Press [Publisher] Bookstore, or at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or any other retailer where the book is available for purchase. Any and all royalties accruing from the sales of this book will be donated by the author to Preserve Christian Family Ministries, Inc. An instruction manual designed to assist parents and teachers with taking children through the book is freely available on the Ministry’s parent website as well: https://preservechristianfamily.org/category/childrens-creational-teachers-guide/
We also have in view, at a future date, providing a resource list of additional recommended educational materials and instruction for PCF Ministries’ members to acquire from third parties unrelated to this Organization.
Information and Assistance
As part of the services we offer and make available, PCF Ministries endeavors to provide information and assistance to families who desire to take responsibility for the education of their children through homeschooling or through a Christian distance learning academy. Several complete homeschooling program recommendations, and several Christian Distance Learning Academy recommendations, are currently available on the Ministry’s parent website. Included in the recommendations are the actual costs for these programs for children enrolled in preschool through 12th grade: https://preservechristianfamily.org/category/childrens-creational-a-tool-to-teach/
PCF Ministries shall also provide information and assistance to its members in fulfilling State requirements to homeschool their children, and guidance in implementing a homeschooling program. In addition, we shall be available to conduct conferences and seminars for church leadership and membership, administrators and teachers of church Sunday School programs and preschool programs, and for any other group of interested persons, seeking to learn more about educating children in the moral and spiritual precepts set before us in the Bible. These services may be provided whenever requested, and shall take place at the location provided by the group or person requesting it.
PCF Ministries active and ongoing involvement in providing these services is designed to both encourage and assist families who desire to take over the responsibility of education of their children. The thought of homeschooling can seem overwhelming and very intimidating to a family. For many families already under financial stress, it seems out of the question. A second seemingly overwhelming concern stems from the misconception of the time necessary to homeschool children. Additionally, in families where there is a parent at home, the prospect of homeschooling presents a major change in lifestyle. We endeavor to provide information and assistance that enable families to address these difficulties. Following is a link to an article currently available on our Ministry’s parent website dealing with the prospect of homeschooling, including therein a link to a comprehensive presentation of several recommended Christian homeschooling programs and distance learning academies, along with their associated costs: https://preservechristianfamily.org/category/hedge-of-thorns/
Financial Support of Persons in Need
It is our heartfelt desire to provide knowledge, and financial support whenever deemed necessary, to every family that embraces the urgent need to take responsibility for the education of their children through Christian homeschooling or a Christian distance learning academy.
PCF Ministries also affirms its determined resolve to actively stand in support of our brothers and sisters in Christ whenever a specific threat is launched against their marriage, their family, their freedom to live their lives in accordance with Biblical values, or their Constitutional right of free speech. In family situations such as these, or any other situation where financial assistance is recommended and deemed necessary in furtherance of the purposes set forth of this Organization, we will consider financial support of the persons in need. We purpose to wholeheartedly support the precepts outlined in the Family Pledge: https://family-pledge.org/home/
Promotion and Support Through Christian Media
It is PCF Ministries goal to bring a full awareness of our services, programs, and activities to the Christian community, utilizing every available form of media to accomplish this purpose. This may include documentaries and photos of activities, projects, and events PCF Ministries sponsors, hosts, and/or participates in. By documenting and reporting our efforts, we purpose to broaden our outreach. These multimedia features will be recorded by our volunteers during the aforementioned activities, and shall be made available to the Christian community.
Sponsor, Host, and/or Participate in Events and Activities
PCF Ministries intends to sponsor, host, and/or participate in events and activities that uphold Biblical marriage, preserve Christian family, and protect the moral and spiritual well-being of children. Examples of such events and activities are retreats, conferences, workshops, summer camp programs, vacation Bible School programs, seminars, rallies, and any other related event or activity. These events and activities may take place whenever it is deemed an appropriate opportunity to further the purposes for which PCF Ministries was formed.
