We’re committed to training up our little ones made in God’s image together, but we don’t want that work to be confined to Sunday mornings or ‘church programs’. Our goal in sharing these lessons is so that parents and other members of our body will know how to partner in shaping our kids as they grow in their identity of a Family of Servant Ambassadors, learning to walk in Christ’s kingdom. We strongly encourage parents to download these tools to use at home with their kids.
