Primary Faith Educators
If you listen closely to our pastors as they baptize children you will hear them refer to the parents as their child's "primary faith educators." You will also hear them refer to the church as their family and support in raising that child to be one of Christ' disciples.
One simple step we offer parents as they live into this role is through our Sunday School materials. Each week the leaflet that the children use in-class, has a take-home component. Check out the back of their leaflets for fun and faith-building activities you can do with your child.
