“Add your faith with virtue,
and virtue with knowledge,
and knowledge with self-control,
and self-control with steadfastness,
and steadfastness with godliness,
and godliness with brotherly affection,
and brotherly affection with love.
For if these virtues are yours and are increasing,
they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Peter 1:5-8
Families of Virtue is a ministry that exists to reclaim virtue. Christians have a long history studying and cultivating virtue that has been greatly ignored in modern times. We believe vice corrupts not only actions but the soul. All people should cultivate virtue, and believers have a special advantage. This ministry offers the missing component to individual, family, and church life. Virtue is not a silver bullet to solve all problems, but many problems can be traced back to a lack of virtue. We seek to change this.
A virtuous person is a complete person. As believers, virtuousness means a renewed mind, increasing in knowledge, increasing in wisdom in Christ, prudent as serpents, just in our dealings, steadfast in character, and always being sober-minded in self-control.
We seek to help believers, families, and church families cultivate classic virtues rooted in faith, hope, and love yielding a fruit of righteousness so that they will not be ineffective or unfruitful.
We help cultivate virtue a number of ways:
-
- We provide a variety of material designed to inform and help transform believers.
-
- We offer courses through our Classical Virtue Academy to help individuals and home schools cultivate virtue.
-
- We engage churches through conferences, preaching, and teaching to help small groups put on the image of Christ using virtue.
To learn more, contact us as we would love to work with you and walk with you as we fulfill Peter’s final wish to grow in these qualities and so never be unfruitful.
