Raising Generations
Together we are partners in raising generations. Not an easy task. From toddlers to teens our kids are trying to figure out who they are becoming, and our hope is to be ready with faithful encouragement and support them spiritually, physically, and emotionally. We need the replenishing news of the Gospel and the wisdom of our local church families to raise generations. This includes letting God inspire personal change as He raises us. The Time is Now to connect, to listen, and to grow relationally with our church, our community, and our kids. This is THE TIME IS NOW – RAISING GENERATIONS
