Online Parenting Class
As a youth ministry, we are always looking for ways to encourage, support, and invest in parents. One way we do this is by providing an online parenting class through Parent Ministry. Twice a month, those who sign up will receive an email containing a short letter and video. Each email will be focused on helping parents think spiritually about how to invest in their children during the teen years.
We know how busy parents are and this is one resource you can utilize and look at when you have the opportunity.
Below you are able to sign up for this online parenting class under "Email Sign Ups". Fill in your information and select "Online Parenting Class" option.

One aspect of our online parenting class is the rites of passage experience (ROPE). Each grade level (6th - 12th) has strategic resources for parents to utilize in passing down a parent's faith in Jesus to their child. The following is the spiritual focus of each year:
6th grade - Preparation for Adolescence
7th grade - The Blessing
8th grade - Purity Weekend
9th grade - Driving Contract
10th grade - Money Matters
11th grade - Family Tree
12th grade - Manhood/Womanhood Ceremony
