• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

HELLO EVERYONE..
I was wondering if I might be able to 'lurk' and perhaps even post in this forum.first let say I am not a ministers spouse or a PK.however,please let me explain a few things.my older brother(13 years my senior) and his wife are my pastors.my nephew (10 years my junior)is the associate pastor of our church.I am the current P/W leader.my brothers other son and his family also attend the church and my parents attend as well.we and our spouses are all active in some area of ministry.
this makes for some VERY interesting family dynamics,to say the least.I feel at times I am in a sort of 'fishbowl',when it comes to ministry and chuch life.I love my brother ,but sometimes I feel that I am in his shadow at times.it seems perhaps this is a forum where people can relate to some of these things?
it is not always easy when so many blood relatives are in ministry alongside each other...

If this is not the right place for me,I will understand. Thanks. just looking for some folks to relate to...

Ministry doesn't matter, everyone who is doing God's work accordingly is equal. I'm a college student and I do quite fine! You are welcome to stay. OIC haha ministry spouses you mean? Oh I have no idea.
