Faith. Family. Frontier.

Families of the Frontier strengthens families through hands-on skills, outdoor life, and Christian formation in a family-first setting.

We provide a structured way for families to grow together by learning practical skills,
practicing seasonal rhythms, developing character, and sharing faith.

Parents lead and participate in every activity. Families learn together and grow together.

What We Do

Families of the Frontier gives parents and children opportunities to learn, work, and worship together. Our programs focus on skill, challenge, and Christian rhythm:

Practical skills:

gardening, food preservation, herbal work, firecraft, and other hands-on lessons

Outdoor challenge:

camping trips, hikes, bushcraft, and activities that build resilience and strengthen family bonds

Seasonal and liturgical rhythms:

guides for celebrating core feasts, marking milestones, and restoring Christian patterns at home

Rites of passage:

age-appropriate challenges that help children and parents mark important spiritual and developmental milestones

Family skill badges:

structured paths for families to practice, achieve, and celebrate mastery together

Christian fellowship:

devotions, prayer, and reflection woven into every gathering

Why It Matters

Families thrive when faith, work, and community are shared. Modern life has removed
the rhythms and practices that once strengthened Christian households. Families of the
Frontier restores those rhythms.

We help families:

Our vision is families who are capable, unified, grounded in faith, and confident in both practical life and Christian formation.

Through structured lessons, seasonal celebrations, rites of passage, and skill badges, families build competence, faith, and unity. Our goal is strong families walking together in skill and in Christ.

If you want a community that values Christian formation, practical skill, outdoor challenge, and shared family growth, you belong here.

Our Story

Families of the Frontier began with one conviction. Parents and children grow strongest when they learn, work, and worship together.

We created Families of the Frontier to give families a clear framework for restoring Christian rhythms. Prayer, skill, reflection, challenge, and celebration are at the heart of every gathering. This is not a drop-off program. Every family participates fully and safely.
