Parenting as a Church Leader course
- For anyone who is a leadership in a church in any capacity, leaders in training and spouses/partners of leaders.
- Explores four key areas that all children and teenagers in ministry families need in order to thrive.
- Based on the book Parenting as a Church Leader by Rachel Turner.
- Made up of four 40 – 55 min videos, plus individual and discussion questions.
- The leader handbook and participant handbook allow anyone to run it as training day or course. It works well when a church leadership team or network of leaders explore it together or can be used by individuals or couples. Scroll down to view or download the videos.
- This is all freely available but we ask everyone who uses the material to register their course and make a donation, so that we can support you, pray for you and keep making it available to others.
- Join the next Parenting as a Church Leader course facilitated by Parenting for Faith on Zoom (happens once a year as a one day event).
- Connect with other parent/leaders and browse hundreds of previously asked questions through the Facebook community. (Please answer the security questions to enable use to keep this a safe space).
1. Connected
We want our children to feel connected to us, not just in the happy times or just when we are present, but in the actual midst of ministry.
2. Prioritised
Church leaders’ children and teens need to feel prioritised: valued, important, and safe and secure in your affection and love.
3. Covered
There are things we can do to cover church leaders’ children, and to protect them from scrutiny.
4. Empowered
We long for our children and teens to go on their unique faith journey and have their own adventure with God. Both the discipling that happens at home in the everyday and the influence of the church community that wraps around the family are vital for this.
