Discipleship Resources
One of our Core Values is to ENCOURAGE families. To help in this effort we intend to plan several events all geared toward families throughout the year. However, beyond that we want to help you learn to teach and train your families at home. This is whether you are single and your family is just you and your church family, or if you are married and don't have children, are married with young kids, or older kids, or if you are navigating through life after the loss of a spouse, whatever season of life you are in.
On this page you will find resources meant to help both EQUIP and ENCOURAGE
Note on Family Worship: Family Worship and Devotional is something that we endeavor to do daily. It can sometimes be a challenge, but it is to be done in obedience to God's commands to teach the truths of His Word to our children.
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.5You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
- Deuteronomy 6:4-9
