Hi Parents!

Parent Notes From Forrest's Last Parent Meeting

We Believe

We believe that as parents, you have the ability to have the most lasting impact in your student's spiritual life. And we see our job, as the Church, to come alongside you and suport you as you raise your student. Below are a few ways that we have available to support you in growing spiritually healthy students.

The Student Weekly

Every week, we send out an update with info about what is going on in the Jr. High and High School Ministries. It is packed with info about all the happenings in the student ministries. To sign up for the Weekly click here

Parent Link Newsletter

Every month, we send out (via e-mail) a monthly newsletter that not only has our monthly calendar but is also filled with relevant and biblically based content that will keep you connected to teen culture and help you engage in conversations with your student. Tofind the Parent Link newsletter go to the High School, or Jr. High pages and click on the Link!

Parent Meetings

Each fall we invite all of our parents to a meeting where we talk about where we are headed and how you can get involved. This is a great opportunity for you to meet our staff and small group leaders. Check the calendar for more details.

Get Involved

We love parents and there are endless opportunities for you to get involved. You can assist in the office, help plan a misstion trip, drive students, host a small group, cook, we need you! If you are interested in getting more invovled, please contact us.

Listen To Our Messages

Each week we post the audio recording of our Sunday morning messages. This is an easy way to hear what is being taught and gives you a great entry point for a conversation.

Deep Sheets (High School Only)

We are consistantly looking for ways to equip you, the parents, with different ideas to connect with your students. And every Monday morning, we will be placing our "Deep Sheets" online that have a summary of Sunday's message, the focus Scripture, and some questions for reflection (this is a nice compliment to the audio of our messages). Your students are given these on Sunday mornings to take home but we post them for you on Monday morning. Our prayer is that these "Deep Sheets" will allow you to have an informed conversation with your student. We want you to get beyond the staple, "So, how was church?" or "what did you talk about?" and you will get better answers than "good" and "stuff." Have these conversation in the car on the way to school, when you pick them up from practice, or how about at the dinner table. Click here for this week's Deep Sheet
