The concept of "Church Family" is a fundamental aspect of Christian faith, emphasizing the unity and interconnectedness of believers as a spiritual family. According to the Bible, Christians are adopted into God's family through faith in Jesus Christ, as stated in Ephesians 1:5, which says, "he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ."

This sense of community and belonging is rooted in the assurance of God's love and care, as expressed in Psalms 68:6, which declares that "God sets the lonely in families."
