Family Pastor Greg Arthur will be teaching the seminar, “Parenting with Jesus in the Room: 4 Essentials of Parenting as Discipleship” in the Student Center during the second service on December 3rd and 10th. Sign up here.

Since Jesus is always in the room, what he thinks about parenting matters most. So, what does he think? That's what we're going to explore during this two-week Sunday morning seminar on Christian parenting as discipleship. The Bible describes the work of raising children to be discipling our children to know and love and follow Jesus. The Bible says that parenting is nothing less than the passing down to our children the salvation and life found only in our faith in Jesus, for as Jesus said, "what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" (Mark 8:16) 

So how do we do that? How do we disciple our children to know and love and follow Jesus? In this seminar, we're going to distill the Bible's wisdom about parenting down to four key concepts, associated with four key verses, as being essential to Christian parenting as discipleship.

The Model: Imitating Christ (Since They’re Going to Imitate Us Anyway)

The Method: Teaching Diligently (Since We Teach Our Real Values No Matter What)

The Mission: Winning Hearts (Since We’ve Only Said What They Hear) 

The Manner: Gentleness (Since It’s Better to Be Drawn than Driven)
