When children have been taken away as "children in need of care" or involved in divorce conflict, many times the parents are required to take parenting classes. The Bible has a lot to say about parenting and we have a very good parenting program.  At the most basic level, family rules need to be established and boundaries set.  Children must be protected from the conflict and from having to choose between parents. 

Parenting classes are provided to increase your skills so that you can effectively nurture your children and provide a good environment for the spiritual, emotional, and physical growth for the entire family.  This program provides 6 sessions in a group discussion and training format:

1.  Principles of Growth and Development (Mental, emotional development

from infant to teenager).

2.  The Negative Affects of Domestic Violence on the Family.

3.  What it Means for be a Family (bonding, boundaries, goodness, badness, healthy relationships)

4.  Emotional Health of Family Members:  (Love, positive interactions, solving problems)

5.  Setting Boundaries for the Family (Rules and consequences)

6.  Positive Vital Intersections to Help Build Healthy Minds (includes proper discipline)

This group meets on Thursday nights between 6:00 and 7:30 pm.  

Parenting classes cost $30 per session and are payable prior to each session.

Most people are needing parenting classes in an effort to fulfill a court ordered requirement to ensure the safety of your children.  This is especially true when your children have been taken by the courts do to domestic violence, addictions, or a lack of effective parenting.  Therefore, our recommendation is that you simply fulfill this requirement and learn everything you can to parent your children in a way that the courts require.  We strongly recommend you fulfill this requirement as soon as possible. To get started call 316-677-7646.
