Parents, with their instruction and with the way they live their lives, have the privilege of partnering with the Holy Spirit in ushering their teen into living out God’s design for manhood and womanhood. (Chris Laws)
annual parent summit
Once a year we ask all parents (grandparents, uncles, aunts, neighbors and teachers are welcome too!) to set aside a day to be together at the Parent Summit. It’s a way we can grow together and take seriously the sacred call that each of us has to live our lives in such a way that the next generation is INSPIRED to love and follow Jesus.
