Ministry to Parents

All parents benefit from resources to help them lead their children spiritually at home. All parents need connection with others who are also raising kids to find community and encouragement. However, in addition to those things that we do, single parents can use far more care than what we typically offer.

For all our years of working on staff at local churches, there is one area where we have consistently fallen short, and that is in supporting single parents. There’s a difference between having compassion for those in challenging life circumstances and specifically addressing their unique needs.

In the parenting journey, it’s not a matter of might or maybe, but when difficulty hits our lives.

It’s inevitable that there will be difficult circumstances we have to navigate while parenting, but fortunately, there are some strategies that can help us work through them in a way that honors God and the call He has for us to disciple the students He has entrusted into our care.

As leaders, we are often called upon to step into places of pain and sorrow, but we don’t always know what to do or how we can help.
