<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;"><strong><em>WHY?</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;color: #990000;"><strong>Parents are the number one spiritual influence in a kids/students life!</strong></span></p>
<p>The CFM (Central Family Ministries) team has been having lengthy discussions about how to help parents disciple their kids.&nbsp; The church has (purposely . . .or not) successfully taken this responsibility out of the parents hands (and parents have allowed it to happen).&nbsp; As a team, we are linking arms over the next year to begin to crack the code on this. The website, is just the beginning on creating a communication tool for parents. We are also emailing out a monthly email that will link to the website.</p>
<p>Here are some future thoughts:</p>
<ol>
<li>How do we connect what we teach on the weekend to the parent/child? We are simplifying our teaching to one Core Truth and same scripture for all of Family Ministries (Birth-High School).</li>
<li>Connect with Parents after Camp</li>
<li>Parent Focus Groups</li>
<li>Parent/Child &#8211; Summit</li>
</ol>
<p>What are your ideas? What are you doing?&nbsp; I would love to hear from you.</p>
