Christians know church and family are important, but are there any biblical communities integrating both well into a unified mission? Orange is a “both/and” philosophy of ministry designed to help people understand it is “important for churches and families to work together to impact kids.” Joiner assigns the color red to describe the “warm hearts” of the family and yellow as the “bright lights” of the church. Orange represents these two powerful influences joining forces for the sake of serving the next generation.
If you are interested in church leadership or are involved in ministry to/with families, this is a fresh viewpoint you’ll enjoy. While the “orange” analogies get a little overwhelming at times, most leaders will say they welcome fresh ideas for improving how they team churches and families for maximum impact.
