Child in a Garden

PARENTING RESOURCES

God calls us to lead lives marked by devotion to Him and obedience to His ways and that includes how we raise our families. Staying true to God’s design for parenting can be challenging! See below for some resources to help you better understand God’s heart for children and raising kids in ways that align with His calling.

Don’t Do it alone

Parenting can be hard. The good news is that we aren't called to it on our own. If you are facing parenting challenges and looking for support, don't hesitate to reach out to your Campus Pastor or Ministry Director. They can assist you in finding the resources and care you need. You can email them here:

LOCAL MINISTRIES
