Parents

  • Create a home where the gospel is seen, heard, and lived every day.

Grandparents

  • Share stories of God’s faithfulness with the next generation.
  • Use your influence to point your family toward Christ.
  • Continue praying for your children and grandchildren; your ministry is not finished.

Children and Students
