Our Approach

Vision

Our Father's Legacy is the vision of Carl and Liela Van Vliet. It was birthed during 26 years of pastoral ministry where God begin to reveal more and more to us the need for restoration of discipleship and spiritual growth within the home.

Our Father's Legacy Ministries exists to partner with parents, families and the local church; to assist in restoring discipleship, spiritual growth and family worship to the home. We endeavor, through equipping encouragement and empowerment to provide tools, resources, training and instruction to parents on how they can become intentional about discipling their children.

Our father's Legacy provides coaching and mentoring one-on-one discipleship of parents, seminars and teaching in the local church and supporting tools and resources to make this vision possible within the home.

If you would like more information about how Our Fathers Legacy Ministries can assist you or your local church you can find us on Facebook at @ourfatherslegacy. You can find us on the web at www.fatherslegacy.org.

Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. 5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed
