Grandparenting for Faith Course
Equipping grandparents and grandparent-figures, to share God with the children they love most.
About the Course
Grandparenting for Faith is a six-session course designed for grandparents and grandparent-figures who want to help the children and young people in their lives meet and know God.
It’s full of practical ideas, encouragement and biblical wisdom to help you share faith naturally as part of everyday life.
You can complete the course on your own, with a friend, or as part of a group.
The course is based on the book Grandparenting for Faith by Becky Sedgwick, and was created in partnership with CYM (the Institute for Children, Youth and Mission).
You can also register for a Zoom course that will be led by Parenting for Faith’s own, Becky Sedgwick and Kate Irvine! The next course will be taking place over 6 weeks starting on 27th January at 7-9pm each week. Register your interest below!
Cost: £30 (please contact us if this cost would prevent you from taking part).

We also offer a single-session version of the course for church leaders or representatives.
This 1.5–2 hour session helps you understand how to equip and empower grandparents and grandparent-figures in your church to play their part in children’s faith development.
Cost: £15
For group facilitators
If you’re running a grandparenting group or leading a book study using Grandparenting for Faith, we have training videos to help you get started and feel confident in leading discussion and reflection.
