Raising Faithful Kids – Class Series for Parents

More info about Raising Faithful Kids
This class series was developed by Sarah Bentley Allred (commissioned by Vibrant Faith, as part of their participation in the Lily Foundation’s Thriving Congregations initiative), and has four main goals:
  1. To offer parents a loving, supportive space in which to explore practical tools for raising faithful kids.
  2. To offer parents additional language and understanding that target the foundations of our life with God, helping them grow more confident and comfortable as they influence their children toward an all-in faith.
  3. To offer parents spiritual experiences and a space to process and reflect upon those experiences—then migrate those experiences into their homes.
  4. To offer parents basic tools for sharing spiritual experiences with children of a variety of ages.
