Sharing faith with our children

Being a parent is a tricky role and there is much advice on how to do it well – some helpful, some perhaps not so helpful! Bringing up children with a Christian faith adds yet another dimension to the subject. But I think we have the answer!! Read on…….

Sharing Faith with our Children is a parenting course designed to ‘encourage Christian parents in the nurture of their children in the faith’. The course understands the importance of the role, while recognising that it is not always easy and so it is designed to motivate and increase the confidence of parents. There is input during the sessions but also lots of opportunities to share ideas, resources and concerns, with space to reflect on the relevance of the topics within individual families and situations.

Topics covered in the course include:

• The biblical perspective of nurturing faith
• Faith development
• Spirituality of the child
• Prayer
• Sharing the bible with children.

During the course, parents are encouraged think of faith sharing as ‘journeying together’ with their children.  The course aims to help improve communication about faith between parents and children and looks at some possible  barriers to growing in faith.

The course is aimed at parents of children from birth to 12 years old.
