It Starts At Home

Are you a parent or caregiver to a child? Do you worry they'll grow up without faith? Do you worry they'll enter their maturity without the peace, hope, grace, and love of God in Jesus Christ? Are you twitter-witted in helping them? Do you think they need more than what they get, or don't get, in Church School?

Growing in faith...Being formed and shaped into the life God dreams and offers to us is not about faith information but faith formation. Forming and nurturing people in their lives as followers of Jesus begins in the home!

From this blog, we'll be hosting and sharing various resources, ideas, and short primers for you to use with you children.
