Parent Ministry

Equipping Parents to Disciple the Next Generation

God has designed the family to be the primary context for spiritual formation. Parents are called to be the chief disciplers of their children, passing on faith from generation to generation. Our Parent Ministry exists to support, equip, and encourage parents in this vital calling.

While our children's and student ministries partner with families in the spiritual development of the next generation, we believe the home is the primary place where faith is lived out and transferred. Our role is to come alongside parents, providing them with resources, training, and community to fulfill their God-given responsibility.

"These words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

— Deuteronomy 6:6-7
