Parent Resources
…we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. Psalm 78:4
We believe that parents are the primary influence on their child’s faith and are committed to partnering with you through every age and stage. When the church and the family work together to raise the next generation, we are living out our God-given calling to pass on the faith.
