We believe that discipleship begins at home and children are a gift from the Lord (Psa 127:3). As a parent, you don’t have to journey alone. Journey with a Safe Parenting Community (SPC), where you can learn, grow and serve together. We aim to do this through the following framework (3C):

• Content: Asynchronous learning through guided materials at your preferred timing
• Community: Three to four couples gathering together once a month to discuss, share and pray
• Consecration: Husband and wife journeying together to cultivate healthy relationships with their children, and walk with fellow parents who are in a similar season

Christian parenting pays attention to building relationships with God, with one another in the family, and with others in the community. Unexamined parenting styles can affect the relationship of a couple, and the children’s faith formation, character development, biblical values and worldview. Experience the positive changes in your parenting as we journey together with God’s empowerment!
