Meet the Baldwin family

Hello! We are the Baldwin family. It's nice to meet you! We are passionate about bringing hope and healing to relationship first and foremost with God and secondly to earthly relationships. As we've individually found healing in our relationship with God and one another, we've noticed how our family has also grown closer to Him and to one another. We have uncovered that simply being together is one of the greatest gifts there is when done so with intentionality and purity in heart. We believe it is possible and can even become a normalcy in life to enjoy being together as a family - in proximity, goals, values, and mission. Psalm 90:1 says, "Lord, You have been our dwelling place throughout all generations." As we've leaned in and learned to dwell in His presence together, we've found healing, joy, peace, direction, and unity as a family. Whether your family is physical or spiritual, we know that when we operate out of the overflow of time spent together with Christ, every family member benefits.

our heart for simply together

We're made to be in family. It is our purpose and legacy!

Being intentional as parents in a society that is all about quick fixes and finding the easiest short-term solution certainly isn't easy. However, it pays off in dividends when we look at parenting with the intention of raising disciples and helping our kids grow and mature into who God created them to be.

What if parenting was more than getting our kids through to adulthood, and could actually be incredibly enjoyable and rewarding?

What if parenting wasn't divisive and stressful, but was able to be unifying and encouraging?

Sound too good to be true? Trust us - we hear you! It isn't an easy or commonly traveled path, but it is one worth taking and can be walked in confidence with the Lord as our Shepherd. When we operate within the family unit as the Lord intended, we create purpose that far exceeds cultural norms and we leave a legacy that generates Kingdom impact now and for generations to come.
