We want to  assist you in developing children’s ministry leaders with exciting and practical and motivational training in your church.

Parenting Conference Workshop

 

 Dear Pastor/Christian Education Director

Parents are facing a tremendous challenge as they try to raise Godly children in our society. Busy lifestyles leave parents drained with little reserves to nourish their children. While the constant pull of the ungodly influences demand that children be prepared or sucked into the downward spiral. There is a tremendous need for parents to be encouraged, taught and held accountable to shape the destiny of precious children that Almighty God has placed in their care. The church should be a refuge where parents can be refueled and receive directions that will help them accomplish their God given responsibility. And we would like to help you accomplish that objective. 

 

We would like to come into your church for a one or two-day seminar called “Train ‘em Right.” You can customize the seminar to fit your needs, choosing from eight different workshops with the Family Celebration Option.   You can open it to other parents in your community or limit it to your membership. We want to help you impact families.

 

What will this seminar do for your parents?

·         Inspire them to be better parents. Parenting is hard work. Biblical illustrations will inspire your parents and renew their spiritual passion to be the parents God wants them to be-not perfect, but good.

·         They will learn new skills and reinforce existing skills to make training a joy.

·         Depending on the workshops you select they’ll learn how to understand the different personalities, discipline ideas and ways to train them according to God’s Word.

 

How is this seminar different?

The Passion. We love children and parents. As both a parent and a children’s minister for over 25 years we understand the needs of children and want to pass that passion on to parents.

Strong Spiritual Focus. While most seminars focus on only the mechanics, this seminar will stir your parents to include their children as they pursue God and develop strong biblical character.
