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).

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.
