Dr. Darren Daugherty is a family pastor, speaker, author, and college instructor. His ministry could simply be called, "Diligent Parents," but there is much more to the diligent life that we are called to as Christians.  Through our ministries, both within a local church and to other churches through seminars and workshops, we are about equipping family leaders with biblical principles and practical ideas to pass a spiritual heritage to their children.  As Christians, we must recognize that a love for God is not passed to the next generation without a plan and deliberate effort.  With a purpose for living, we are called to purposeful living, as seen in the scriptures on this page.  This purposeful living must include every aspect of our lives, including our marriages and the training of our children.  We desire to help entire families become diligent in love and service to God and others.
