The Pastor's House has a new name!  We are excited to introduce our new name.  The Pastor's House is now Family Gravity™!  Why the new name? We have been using the name "The Pastor's House" since 2004 when we released our first DVD.  This year when we launched this website and began planning a new series of family strengthening products we decided it was time to register the trademark.  Part way through the process we discovered that the name was already registered by another ministry who in the past had similar products and services for Christian families.

While it appears that they are no longer using the name we felt it was better to change our name rather than deal with the possibility of future confusion in the marketplace.  We wanted to have a name that is uniquely our own as we invest a great deal of time and money into the launch of new family strengthening resources.

Why "Family Gravity" and where did the name come from?
When trying to decide upon a new name we listed our mission statement and the types of things we hope to accomplish with this business.  We feel led to do all we can to help hold families together in a society that is doing everything it can to rip families apart.  Of all the forces in the world that act on a family, most negatively, we want to be a positive force that draws families closer together.

With that goal in mind we set out to create a name that was unique, trademarkable and captures our vision as simply and succinctly as possible. Obviously the word "family" had to be in there.  The difficulty came in trying to find a word that would promote the image of a family being held together by some positive force.  Gravity is a positive force.  It holds the planets in orbit around the sun and helps us keep our feet on the ground instead of floating off into outer space.  The idea of gravity holding a family together with their feet well grounded in a common goal of unity and purpose seemed like the perfect fit.  After weeks of trying various names and searching to make sure they were not in use else where, we were finally drawn to our new name, Family Gravity™ .  We hope families around the country are drawn to it as well as we equip them with resources designed to help hold their family together.

At Family Gravity™ "Holding Families Together" is more than just a slogan, it is our mission in life!

Pastor Ken's Blog

Well, I've finally done it.  I've created a blog to go along with this website.  Why a blog?  It allows me to communicate with you more frequently than our newsletter and share some thoughts that just don't fit the newsletter format.  Now as soon as I have a thought or idea I can post it on my blog and you will have instant access to it.

I anticipate that most of my blog posts will be short paragraphs that can be read in a minute or two, simple words of encouragement to brighten your day or quick, helpful ideas to help you build lasting memories with your children.

The blog also allows you, the reader, to give me feedback by sharing your comments to my posts.  This gives us a two-way communication that isn't possible with the newsletter.

The blog will NOT replace the newsletter.  It will supplement the newsletter.  So now, Christian parents have one more resource to help in the battle for our children's heart and soul.  It is my hope and prayer that this addition will be a valuable one for you.  Please check it out by clicking the Pastor's Blog button.  And please be sure to leave me a comment letting me know what you think about the new blog and our redesigned Family Gravity™ website.

Serving Christ and His Family,  

Pastor Ken Lawrence
