Does your church have a plan to equip parents and grandparents in their God-given mission to help their children follow God?

The COVID-19 crisis has brought unusual trauma into our families and churches. Each family will return from this challenging season with different experiences and perspectives.

For church leaders it is all too common for us to neglect our own families while we are overwhelmed with caring for others. Join Prof. Ben Freudenburg (Concordia Center for the Family) and Dr. Rob Rienow (Visionary Family Ministries) as they discuss essential principles and practices for family ministry, beginning in our own homes and then overflowing to our congregations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created upheaval for our families, churches, and nations. It is a time when God is calling His people to re-examine their priorities. Join Pastor Dr. Todd Biermann (Life in God’s Way) and Prof. Ben Freudenburg (Concordia Center for the Family) for a critical conversation on how we can help families establish their foundation on Christ and live out their faith with biblical priorities. This is a vital time for families to follow Jesus and shine for Him in our world.

Many churches have a heart to help hurting marriages and families but don’t know where to start. Join Prof. Ben Freudenburg (Concordia Center for the Family) and Dr. Rob Rienow (Visionary Family Ministries) as they discuss practical strategies for how your church can help families grow in worshipping God together at home, building stronger relationships with one another, and sharing the good news of Jesus in their neighborhoods.

God calls parents and grandparents to serve as the primary spiritual leaders for their children. Sadly, discipleship is often delegated to the church. Join Jenna Hallock (Family Time Training) and Dr. Rob Rienow (Visionary Family Ministries) for a vital conversation on how your church can help parents and grandparents connect through Biblical discipleship with their children at home. You will come away with specific approaches for helping families create engaging, fun, and meaningful time together in God’s Word, prayer, and worship.

What has family ministry in the church looked like for the past 30 years? How is COVID-19 changing our vision and understanding of family ministry? Join Dr. Roger Theimer (Kids Kount Publishing) and Jenna Hallock (Family Time Training) for this vital conversation on how our churches can partner more effectively with the home for the advance of the Gospel.
