GROW AT HOME FOR NEXTGEN Grow at Home is a churchwide commitment to encourage spiritual growth at home. Beyond growing in Life Bible Study and Milestones, we believe growing at home is essential to true spiritual maturity. Imagine if, as a child, you had only grown physically on Sunday mornings or Wednesday nights. That wouldn t be healthy. For parents, it is vitally important you have resources, training and encouragement to be a disciple-maker in your home. To help you, we have created the Parent Path. This path consists of classes, resources, seminars and conferences. Here are the opportunities available to you this spring: 1. Parent Classes Birds & Bees: Oh Help Me Please! (Parents of Children Birth K) This class gives parents a simple strategy to teach their children about the issue of sexual development in the preschool and early elementary years. For more information, see page 11. The Talks (Parents of Children 1st 5th grade) This course will focus on 15 key conversations, lay the foundation for talking with younger kids, and help your kids make wise choices regarding sexual development. For more information, see page 11. Let s Talk Pornography (Parents of Students 6th 12th grade) A 6-week course for parents to openly and candidly discuss pornography as it relates to students and the effect it s having on our culture. For more information, see page Parent Conference ReFuel: Parenting with Purpose Sat, Aug 25, 2018 It can be difficult to grow up in such a non-christian culture. There are many narratives, particularly surrounding sexuality, that depart sharply from the Word of God. This workshop will help you navigate this journey with kids from birth through high school through a presentation by Axis Ministries. Through live and engaging presentations, learn more about the role of media, technology and culture and how they impact the sexual and gender views of kids.
