Welcome!
Welcome to Parent Day, hosted by the Next Gen Ministries of Children’s, Grade 5&6, and Youth! Our goal is to partner with families and equip parents as the primary disciplers of their children, and we are excited to help provide tools you can use in different stages of your child’s life.
Our Parent Day program will include a main stage large group time followed by two breakout sessions with a time for refreshments and connections between attendees. Our breakout sessions will focus on the different stages of a child’s life, such as building biblical foundations in their early years, helping them build community in their childhood, and how to apply their faith in their personal lives as they get closer to adulthood.
Each breakout will be offered twice, once at each scheduled time, and we encourage you to choose the two most relevant to you! Breakouts will be offered annually; if there is one you can’t get to this time, it will be offered again next year.
Registration
Our next Parent Day is on Saturday, November 23, from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
