Family discipleship is the intentional practice of teaching children to know, love and follow Jesus through everyday moments.
More Information
Building strong foundations of faith at home.
Scripture teaches that God’s original and great design for replicating faith in the next generation is through the context of family (Deuteronomy 6:4-9). Your role as a parent is a divine calling. It’s no coincidence that you are your child’s mom or dad—God has intentionally placed them in your care. As parents, you have the unique opportunity to model Christ’s love, grace, and truth in the rhythms of daily life. Family discipleship isn’t about perfection but about being intentional in your faith journey as a family.
Family Discipleship happens in time, moments and milestones.
- Time: Setting aside specific, regular times when your family engages in activities like Bible reading, prayer, and discussion.
- Moments: Using impromptu opportunities to teach and reinforce faith. These can be casual, spontaneous interactions that arise naturally in the flow of daily life.
- Milestones: Celebrating significant moments and markers in a child’s life.
As the primary disciplers of your children, our church is here to partner with you on this important journey. Together, we can lay a strong foundation of faith that will last a lifetime.
Milestones
As part of our NextGen strategy, we will celebrate milestones between birth and high school graduation. These milestones present special opportunities to mark and remember God’s faithfulness. And they serve as a rallying point for the church and home to partner together for the purpose of celebrating your child and equipping you as parents.
