January 28th at 7 PM & January 29th 9 AM - 2 PM
A conference for parents looking for hope as they raise kids in a climate that is increasingly hostile to our faith
We believe that the transforming power of the Gospel and the unchanging character of God provides hope. Through this conference, we seek to provide a general framework for Gospel-centered parenting and to help parents navigate many complex situations, including issues surrounding technology use, gender and sexuality and the establishment of Gospel rhythms within the home in a culture of hurry.
Our hope is that families from churches within Cherokee County will link arms in the important task of raising up the next generation to know and love the Lord.
