Helping Your Child Find Their Spark

Saturday June 7, 2025 10:45am - 11:45am EDT

Every child has seasons where something outside of themselves excites them and give them purpose. Our job as parents is identifying what the "spark" is for our student and equipping and empowering them in their God given gifts. With Generation Z and Generation Alpha the data shows that "Vocational Discipleship" (Discipleship that uses a student's passions/gifts to show them their value in Christ) is the most effective so as parents we MUST not encourage attendance but engagement in the Body of Christ and God's Kingdom.
