This project seeks to train the fathers of Calvary Baptist Church to lead their families in family worship. Chapter 1 establishes the context and the need for such training. Chapter 2 explores the biblical precedent for both family worship and for pastors to train fathers in this practice. To embellish this biblical precedent, chapter 3 considers church history, contemporary assessments of masculinity, and the modern renewal of family worship. Chapter 4 explains the implementation of the project. Chapter 5 evaluates the effectiveness of the training in achieving the purpose.
