PARENTS
Skyline Church is deeply committed to coming alongside parents to equip them in their role as spiritual leaders of their families. We do this by providing encouragement, training, and resources.
We know parenting is hard, and being an intentional spiritual leader for your child is even harder! We hope to encourage you in the ups and downs of raising your children, whether it's through lunch, coffee, a helpful article, a class, a parenting small group, an email, prayer, or an encouraging sermon.
Parent Path
-
Abiding is being connected to the vine. Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples … You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit - fruit that will last.” (John 15:5-8)
-
In building a Discipleship Circle, parents intentionally surround their children with a circle of trusted people who love them, love Jesus, and are committed to investing in their child through purposeful interactions. The church is one of the best places for parents to draw from in creating these circles.
-
By Creating a Culture of Grace, parents connect with their children in a way that helps them more easily connect with the heart of God. Parents are to be ambassadors of God's grace in the way they love, forgive, communicate, and discipline. In a Culture of Grace, parents understand that we all–kids and adults alike–are in process and have not arrived at perfection.
We believe parents are the primary spiritual leaders of their children. Parents who are spiritual leaders have hearts that ABIDE in Jesus daily, BUILD DISCIPLESHIP CIRCLES in the lives of their children, and make an intentional effort to CREATE A CULTURE OF GRACE in their home.
We call this journey the Parent Path:
PARENTING & MARRIAGE CLASS
We’re all on a journey of being formed into His likeness and learning to reflect the beauty of Jesus to our families and to the world. Marriages and families are two major vehicles that God uses for this transformation process to take place.
This class is a collection of parents and couples who are committed to walking that journey together. Through practical teaching, biblical wisdom, honest conversation, and community, we’ll explore what it looks like to build healthy marriages and healthy families that reflect the heart and design of God.
Meets Sundays 9:00am-10:00am in The Living Room located on the north end of the second floor (childcare provided)
*No Class September 13th-October 4th.
