We offer live, interactive workshops for parents, grandparents, and Triple-A-Adults (Adults who are authentic, available, and affirming). Our partners Lyle Griner and David Lynn have a wealth of knowledge, experience, and encouragement to guide you in passing on your faith. Sign up for a workshop and invite a friend to join!
It can't be business as usual for our congregations. Let's do a better job at helping our parents, our grandparents, and our adults who want to lift up kids to hand down our faith in Christ. Help your congregation pass on a faith that lasts to your younger members.
We will give an overview of the three workshops that can strengthen your congregation's partnership with the home and with kids.
Participate in this brief overview and learn how you can be part of encouraging your congregation to make a difference in the lives of young people.
No matter the age of your kids, from tots to teens you can pass on a faith that lasts.

"These are things we learned from our ancestors, and we will tell them to the next generation. We won't keep secret the glorious deeds and the mighty miracles of the Lord... And he (God) told our ancestors to teach their children, so that each new generation would know his Law and tell it to the next. Then they would trust God and obey his teachings, without forgetting anything God had done." Psalm 78:3-7 (CEV)
