We prioritize families and the next-gen to produce disciples who make disciples.

We believe it is vitally important to not just engage kids and students at church but to provide resources to equip all of the adults in the lives of the next generation. Below is a list of resources on various topics to help equip parents, families, and mentors for discipling the next generation of Jesus followers. The resources are organized alphabetically by topic.
