The Association of Interchurch Families was formed in 1968 to help couples such as you by providing mutual support and, above all, information about what the churches say about people in your situation. At its heart, the Association’s mission is simply to:
“... provide a support network and information service to interchurch families (including partners and parents, growing children and young adults) as well as clergy, ministers, relatives, and all others concerned in the welfare of these families”.
We deliver this mission in two ways ...
- Events and gatherings are arranged for anyone in an interchurch relationship or concerned with the pastoral welfare of such couples so that they can share experiences and support each other. Events are held both face-to-face and also on zoom. View more here.
- By providing as much information as possible.
