Family Discipleship Resources

And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2

 

Over the years the Family Discipleship Department has created a number of resources to help document our philosophy of ministry, and to be resources for parents and others involved in ministry to children, youth, and young adults. Many of these documents are now available to you from the links below. Our prayer is that these resources will aid you in your ministry, and point you to the Word.
