Did you know you are the most influential person in your child’s faith journey? Long before a pastor, small group leader, or friend speaks into their life, your voice shapes their understanding of truth, love, and grace. Parent Summit is designed to encourage and equip you to walk confidently alongside your child through the realities of everyday life — not just in the big milestone moments, but in the ordinary rhythms.

Parent Summit is for parents (married and single), grandparents, guardians, and anyone shaping a child’s life. Whether you’re in the toddler years, navigating elementary school, or preparing a teenager for adulthood, this event will meet you where you are and help you take your next step with confidence.

This event is FREE!
Please register below so we have enough food and print materials for everyone. Childcare is available. See details below.

How to Have Hard Conversations
Hard topics don’t get easier by avoiding them, but knowing how to start the conversation is half the battle. In this session, we will discuss practical ways to initiate and lead those important talks with your kids.

Kids and Technology
Technology is shaping your child’s world every day. In this session, we will explore how to set clear, biblical boundaries that protect your family while preparing your child to navigate technology with wisdom and responsibility. We’ll discuss practical guardrails, heart-level discipleship, and how to grow trust as your child matures.

Finances and the Home
Money is more than numbers—it reflects our priorities, values, and faith. This session offers a practical, biblical approach to stewarding finances that strengthens your home and shapes the next generation. We’ll explore how to think about money with a God-centered perspective, organize your finances with clarity and purpose, and teach your children wise financial habits. This isn’t just about budgeting—it’s about building unity, creating peace, and leaving a legacy of faithfulness in your home

Tantrums and Child Development
Genesis 1:27 tells us that humans were made in the image of God. That means kids! Let’s discuss how we can better understand how the Lord made children so we can love and lead them well in all stages of life.

Creating a Christ-Centered Home
A Christ-centered home doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built through intentional, everyday discipleship. In this session, we will explore practical ways to lead your family spiritually through consistent rhythms like family devotions and meaningful conversations. You’ll learn how to make God’s Word central in your home and create a lasting legacy of faith in the lives of your children.

Parenting in the Valley
Drawing on God’s shepherding in Psalm 23:4, this session will equip parents to walk out their faith in Jesus through life’s difficulties. We will discuss biblical principles and precepts, practical tools, and scriptures of hope to encourage the whole family.

Real Talk for Dads

Real Talk for Moms
Women in different stages of the parenting journey share honest perspectives on the realities of motherhood. From faith and discipline to balance and everyday challenges, this panel provides practical wisdom and encouragement for every mom.

Adventures in Parenting
