Everything from weekend services, to family ministry, to group environments are designed to be relevant environments that bring people to connect with God, engage in community and make an impact with the world. Children’s ministry and student ministry are designed to partner with parents to produce a true family ministry approach to reaching kids and their parents. Family Ministry at Colonial is designed in the Orange Model (www.orangerleaders.org).
