Parenting Ministry
Parenting is hard.
But it’s also the most important job you’ll ever have! Parents have the most influence in their kids’ lives, and that’s true whether your kids are a few months old, entering middle school, or getting ready to leave the nest.
We want to come alongside you, equip you, and offer resources to help you do this parenting thing in an intentional, faith-building and life-giving way.
We are FOR you and FOR your family!
Milestone Strategy
Community of Hope’s Milestone Strategy allows the church the chance to come alongside families at every phase of a child’s life. Each phase presents distinctive opportunities to leverage that will influence a kid’s future and their walk with Christ. Each milestone class is uniquely designed to help kids navigate those moments of transition, and to equip parents to be the primary disciplers of their children.
