YOU ARE MORE INFLUENTIAL THAN US

We truly believe that the most influential person in a student’s life is their Parent or Guardian, not us. So it is our goal to come alongside Parents and Guardians, to help them disciple their student(s) well. We aim to equip Parents and Guardians by providing them with helpful resources that will help them engage with their student(s) at home. Additionally, we want to be there for Parents and Guardians, and will do our best to assist them in any needs they might have.

WAYS WE WANT TO EQUIP PARENTS & GUARDIANS

 Resource Library
We offer parenting books and resources to help you be the best parent you can be. Stop by our Resource Library and pick up a topic-specific Parent guide! Find out  about the resources we provide below or contact us for more info.

Take-Home Guides
 Every so often, after Wednesday Night Gatherings, we will provide students with a take home study guide that they can use to further invest in Scripture and learn more about the Bible. These guides will present great opportunities for Parents & Guardians to continue the conversations at home and further disciple their student(s).

Parent/Guardian Emails
Most weeks, we send out an email that accomplishes three things: (1) informs Parents & Guardians of the upcoming topics we'll be discussing at youth group , (2) equips Parents & Guardians with discussion starters so that they can continue the conversation with their students at home, and (3) updates Parents & Guardians on any announcements and upcoming events.
