Mission

Parenting in today's culture is difficult! With all the distractions of our modern world, parents need a guide to help reinforce the moral compass of their family. Families of Character assists parents in developing and implementing good habits so kids are armed with strong character. This permeates culture and lifts up our communities as a whole.

Background Statement

Although officially founded in 2009, Families of Character emerged from the trials and errors of Steve and Nancy Markel as they navigated the uncertainty of parenting. Many extremely time-consuming and only moderately helpful books, parenting programs, and lectures later, one idea stuck with them — teach your children good habits and they will be successful no matter what they do.

Steve and Nancy learned that the most effective way to truly implement change is with practice. Through this, The Families of Character 3-step Formula for Family Living was born. It was developed based on the idea that to truly implement change, it must be practiced daily.

Families of Character has progressed from small-group programs to easily applicable ideas that can be replicated in any family. Today, the organization has many couples living out the 3-Step Formula in different parts of the country and throughout the world. The results have been substantial (see testimonials tab)!

Families of Character is currently serving families in 48 states and 65 different countries.
