The Five Key Tools Journey

Help your child or teenager grow in faith — with five simple tools for everyday life.

The Five Key Tools Journey is a brand new six-session course for parents and carers, starting 15 September. Every fortnight, you’ll get a 20-minute teaching session, real stories from families who have tried the tools, and practical ideas to try at home. Watch or listen on demand, on your own, with your partner, or as part of a church or small group.

Sign up individually or as a group and join the journey free until the end of 2026.

Parenting for Faith over the summer

God is part of every season of life. This summer we’d love to help release you from the pressure of feeling like you need to prepare or do more spiritual activities and help you discover opportunities to notice God and connect with him as part of things you might already be doing.

We don’t want to add more things to your to-do list, so we’ve come up with some suggestions of things families might already be doing over the summer, with easy ways to weave in moments of God-connection – for you and your kids.

Going to a Christian festival or camp this summer?

If you are heading off to a Christian festival or camp with your family this summer, you might be really looking forward to all the opportunities to worship and hear great teaching, as well as looking forward to the kids’ groups and spending time with friends and church family.

Or you might be a little unsure how things will go, anticipating the inevitable tiredness, worries about sleep or being out of routine, and wondering how your kids will actually experience the week.

Click to read some simple ways that the Five Key Tools can support you this summer as you navigate camps and festivals, as well as ways to keep the spiritual momentum going once you’re back home.
