Parent Guide
Our children’s gatherings are strategically designed to present a singular message each week through a variety of mediums including age-relevant teachings, games, songs, object lessons, crafts, activities, and more. To assist parents and guardians in reinforcing what is being taught, this monthly parent guide provides an overview of the lessons. Our hope is that parents will use this to reinforce God’s truth each week.
