Partnership
Discipleship Partners
The Bible teaches that parents are the primary disciple-makers in the home. This means that you have a big job that impacts eternity for your kids! Most parents will eagerly agree with us on this reality, but so many struggle with the practical side of parenting. Parents have a big job. We are here for you, and your kids too.
