We’ve been talking to church leaders across the country about why this is so important to our churches.
One church leader we spoke to said:
“It strikes me that there is no single occasion in the year where I as a church leader have the opportunity to speak to parents directly about their parenting – and yet it’s such an important issue.”
We have some great ways you can start this journey with parents in your congregation.
Children’s Faith: A whole church approach to family ministry
This booklet and the accompanying resources contain flexible coaching material to help churches review and develop their children’s and family ministry. It includes development tools, thought-provoking content, discussion questions and a journey map, together with online access to video material presented by Andy Frost.
