Parents and Children

Our philosophy is that parents hold the primary responsibility in leading their children to know, love, and follow Jesus into a relationship with God our Father. A helpful guide for assemblies to consider when planning for children has been provided by the Underground Church. To help parents fulfill this responsibility, we recommend the following sets of resources:

A. PARENT CUE

Parent Cue app for Apple or Android (see slides below)

and

Sunday at Home which provides age appropriate video material that coincides with the material in Parent Cue.
