Who We Are
Formed in early 2011, the Christian Coalition for Safe Families is committed to raising awareness about domestic abuse. Our founding members and most active participants are Christians. However, our message is universal. In addition to our e-newsletters, we participate in a variety of community events throughout the year. CCSF networks throughout the Christian and secular community to make resources available to those who work with individuals and families who have experienced or may be currently experiencing abuse. CCSF believes that with knowledge, tools and resources, the occurrence of domestic abuse will decrease, families will heal, and the generational legacy of domestic abuse will end.
What We Believe
At the Christian Coalition for Safe Families, when we talk about domestic violence, we are always talking about all forms of domestic abuse. Also called intimate partner violence or relationship abuse, we include family violence as part of this definition to include abuse of the elderly. We use the words violence and abuse interchangeably to mean coercive, psychological, verbal, legal, emotional, economic, physical, sexual, and religious. Any abuse behavior against another is a violent assault on that person’s very being, their heart, their soul, their psyche.
Domestic abuse is a deliberate, intentional pattern of power and control over another individual in an intimate relationship. When the abuser feels that they can no longer control the other person in the same manner, the abusive behavior frequently escalates. Children intuitively are aware of the abuse in a relationship whether they see it or not. When we talk about any kind of domestic abuse situation, we acknowledge that any kind of abuse is soul damaging, has the potential to escalate and creates its own legacy.
