 | Welcome to the Parent's Page If you're like the normal mom or dad, you just wish someone would ever-so-often throw you a rope...maybe send some help your way when it comes to this increasingly difficult job of parenting teenagers. We might not be able to provide all of the help that is needed, but we might can help a little. This page is designed to recommend resources that assists us in our ministry, and we feel that they might be a benefit to you as well. So check them out, and come back often because we will be updating this page whenever we find something worth your time. Also, when we go through a series in the Sr. High, we will update this page with any of the books that are used in study and preparation. This might be some good reading for you to do in order to better communicate to your child with what they are learning on Sundays and Wednesday nights. Lastly, you'll find a way to sign up for the Parent's Network. Scroll down and click on the picture in order to be part of the effort to connect parents to one another and to the ministry. |

| Recommended Resources Center for Parent/Youth Understanding This website provides many helpful resources for the minister and parent. From recommended books to articles on pop culture trends, this is a site that we visit often. You can even sign up for a free monthly newsletter. Redeeming Pop Culture by T.M. Moore This book is helpful in teaching us how to view the world with a Christian world-and-life view. This is a required read for all interns, so it is highly recommended. Bored With God by Sean Dunn This is a very simple read that gives a good description of the heart of this generation. If you want to know why your child might respond to church, God, etc. like he or she does, this might interest you. Chameleon Christianity by Dick Keyes This is a short but profitable book that encourages believers to get out of the "bunker" mentality and live a life for Christ in hurting world. Sex and the Supremacy of Christ by John Piper Every student will deal with sex in some form or fashion. Equip yourself with a proper worldview by reading this book. There are many theological giants who have some compelling insights in how sex should be rightly viewed. The Westminster Shorter Catechism If you're not familiar with the catechism, it's not as dry as it might sound. It is simply 107 questions concerning the Christian faith. Go over a question each night with your sons and daughters at the dinner table. This might be the only Biblical truth that they hear all day. | Current Sunday/Wednesday Teachings Sunday Morning Wednesday Nights John by James M. Boice Knowing Christ: The I Am Statements of Jesus by R.C. Sproul Parent's Network
