Resumo: The present paper is the result of a research whose objective was to analyze the Church-as-Family of God. The main investigation in this paper aims to study the contribution of the model of the Church-as-Family of God in the Mozambican Local Churches. That is why the theme of this paper is: The Church-as-Family of God: An approach to the Mozambican Ecclesiology according to the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation (EA 63)“The Church in Africa” by the Holy Father John Paul II. We analyze the African Church’s reality, the Mozambican Church’s reality and the Mozambican family’s reality on the first chapter. We present the concept of the Church-as-Family of God according to the Ecclesia in Africa (the Church in Africa) on the second chapter. The main investigation of this paper “An approach to the Mozambican Ecclesiology: the church-as-family of God” is developed on the third chapter. The concept of Church-as-Family of God is used in its two possible meanings. The first is to view the Church-as-Family of God as the Body of Christ, constituted by the members of the same Christian family, brought together by the bond of the Love of Christ and by the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, whose blood runs through the veins of all Christians. The second is to view the Church-as-Family of God in a more human sense, as a creation of God – the father of humankind, as God’s Family.
