Many faith communities struggle to best equip and support parents, and people who serve in the role of parents, as they nurture children’s spiritual development and religious education. Research proves, over and over, that parents are the most important influence on a child’s faith. But it’s been a challenge for churches to easily equip parents to confidently take up this important and holy practice.
Practical Tools for Raising Faithful Kids bridges the gap between knowledge and practice in parents who want to influence their kids toward a deeper faith.
Practical Tools for Raising Faithful Kids is a collaboration between Sarah Allred, Associate for Christian Formation & Discipleship in Lifelong Learning at Virginia Theological Seminary, and the Vibrant Faith team. This 6-session resource provides a comprehensive community-building experience for parents and anyone who loves kids. It’s designed for small groups or adult education contexts, and is a hybrid resource that works online or in-person.
