You are #1.
Really, you are.

Barna statistics state that the number one
influence in the student’s life is not the youth
pastor or the Sunday school teacher, but the
parent. The numbers tell us that the student
(when leaving home to enter the college or
career environment) will most likely follow
what their parents modeled in the home.

"God sends kids to believing
parents to make disciples of the
next generation."

Scott Kindig, MORF Magazine

This ministry area serves to
assist you in instructing
and discipling your
child in Christ.

Let Us Encourage You

Follow-up with your student after Sunday School lessons, worship services, camps & retreats. Ask them to share with you what they learned and how it applies to their life.

Encourage your child to schedule in quiet, devotional time in God's Word daily. Make it a priority to share this together as a family.

Pray with your child, for spiritual growth and development, for discerning important decisions and engaging the culture around them.

Be aware of your child's peer and media decisions. Encourage healthy choices that promote Godly relationships and Godly living.

Use this website, podcasts, associated media links and downloadable materials.

Last Session: Evolution. One of the most pervassive ideas of the modern scientific age. It is though, far more than a scientific theory. It is an aetheist doctrine that has far-reaching moral, social, theological implications. Every day our youth attend schools and plug into media that relentlessly preach this secular world-view.

Plan to engage this stimulating discussion. Discover how one cannot reconcile Genesis chapters 1-3 and millions and millions of years. Gain some insight into our phenomenal apologetics-base Sunday school curriculum and see what's coming up in 2012.

Coming Up: It's the elephant in the room. It's where many parents and church leaders fear to go. Dating. Romance. Sex.

But, it's also part of God's wonderful, extravagant design for our lives. It's God's personal display of beauty and relationship breathed into the very center of our being.

Make plans to join us after Evening Worship on the 19th as we begin to engage this topic. Let us know you are coming. We can't wait to see you!

Our New Sunday School Curriculum

Demolishing Strongholds Shot live before 300 teens and embellished with cutting-edge comic book style animation, Demolishing Strongholds features four highly engaging speakers: Ken Ham, Bill Jack, Charles Ware, and Carl Kerby. Each will prepare your children to stand firm on the authority of God’s Word, and each will equip and challenge them to activate their faith!

This complete discipleship study series includes twelve 30-minute DVD programs, student workbooks and an integrated Bible study designed to be discussed by the group.

Demolishing Strongholds’ strategic topics include developing a biblical worldview, tips on how to engage and reach friends for Christ, confidence boosting ideas on how to confront our evolutionized culture, examples of “cultural brainwashing,” and an inspiring challenge on how to be God’s players in the game called life.

Produced by Answers in Genesis.
