​"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children..."

-Deuteronomy 6:6
Picture

Our desire is not to spiritually raise your kids. Nor is it our desire to leave you to do it alone? The church is a family of believers and discipleship is a community project. You are not in this alone and it is not all up to you! But it's not up to us either!

How do pastors and parents raise up the next generation of young people to know and love God - together? 
              “Pretend your church has both the best and worst youth ministry ever.”--Jim Gribnitz

Pretend COLLIDE the best ministry…Get them there. Give church activity the same prominent place that we tend to give baseball, dance and select tuba lessons.
​
Pretend COLLIDE is the worst ministry…Work as hard as possible at home to spiritually form your kids, teaching them the great truths of Christ yourselves. FOLLOW UP WITH THEM after each week! Engage with them during the time you have with them! And pray hard
Be fully, 100% invested at the home, and make sure your youth ministry has every opportunity to shape your kid, too. That’s how we raise young people to love God with all their hearts, and love their neighbors.
