Parenting Class

Parenting Class

Becoming a parent is equal parts exciting, nerve-racking, and exhausting. Your schedule changes, your rhythms change, and sometimes even your friendships change too. With many families in our church becoming parents for the first time, we want to do our best to equip you to be the best parent you can be. We also want to give you help for the times where you feel like you’re not a good parent at all.

On Saturday, February 10 we will host a Parenting Class. This class will also serve as the avenue to participate in a family dedication at a Sunday Gathering. Parents with children of any age are welcome to attend.

Childcare is provided for the class if needed.

9:00am Only
