How do we effectively parent the children God has given us? Many of us come into parenting only knowing the examples we had as children growing up – positively and negatively. This class will address, through varied speakers and discussion leaders, principles of biblical wisdom and then seek to apply that to situations in parenting. A class for parents and future parents, come prepared to ask questions, hear perspectives and then be free to discuss.
In this class:
- Parents are encouraged and challenged to see God’s call on them as parents.
- Parents are equipped with simple, memorable biblical framework for making decisions for their families.
- Parents develop friendships and meaningful relationships
- Parents are encouraged to ask questions and discuss the topics each week
