Course Description
Families are the number-one spiritual influence in the lives of children. But many families are not embracing this responsibility. In this course, Engaging Families, you will consider the challenges contemporary families face in your context. You will explore what the Scriptures say about the role of families in the spiritual nurture of children and learn practical ideas for helping parents to disciple their children at home. But families also need to partner with the church, so you will identify ways the church can connect with and support families. Throughout the course you will have time to reflect on what God is saying to you about engaging families in children’s discipleship.
This course is part of a collection of courses on basic children’s ministry, called “TWELVE,” developed by the 1for50 movement.
