In the Church

TRAIN and EQUIP parents and grandparents to pass the Christian faith to the next generation IN THE HOME

Become a Family-Equipping Church

Every Chruch wants to partner well with parents

Training for Parents • Grandparents • Pastors • Church Staff • Church Members

Why this Matters

Every Chruch wants to partner well with parents—but many take the burden on themselves. God calls parents to be the primary disciple makers of their children (Deut 6:4-9). God has called the pastors to equip the saints for the work of the ministry (Eph. 4:11-12). God has called Family Time, as a para-church organization, to make the parents’ calling and that of pastors practical. One of the most essential parts of your discipleship strategy is to engage, equip, and empower parents to be the primary disciple-makers of their children.

This training provides parents with the teaching, principles, and tools they need to disciple their children alongside your church. It also provides a framework for your church to engage in intergenerational discipleship. We believe God is calling your church to be a family-equipping culture for the glory of God alone!

Testimonials

Family Time training has impacted every generation in our church. From new parents to grandparents, families are committed to family worship. In addition, Frank’s gospel-centered preaching led a newcomer to place her faith in Christ! God is clearly moving through Family Time, and the results have been undeniable. I would encourage fellow pastors to say yes to partnering with this ministry. I am confident the families in your church will be blessed!
