**SAVE THE DATE - Registration will open on Mother's Day, May 11!**
For Christians, raising our children to love and follow Jesus Christ is our highest parenting priority. But most parents are woefully uninformed and unequipped in this area, and they are leaving it all to the church.
At the Disciple-Making Parent conference hosted by Wake Cross Roads Baptist Church, we want to inspire, encourage, exhort and equip local parents and grandparents in this vital area of living the Christian life. Parents will be challenged, inspired, and equipped to take up their God-given role.
Any parent or grandparent in the community is invited to attend.
Cost: $20/adult attendee - includes lunch.
Free childcare available for infants through 5th grade.

What to Expect:
Session 1 – Where We Are Now and Why They Walk Away– In this first session we look at the precious gift God has given us, the dangers awaiting them, and the call of God upon us to pass the gospel baton. We also look at some reasons that children don’t keep following the Lord.
God’s Most Effective Shepherd – For the second part of this session, we look at God’s calling on parents as the primary disciplers of their children.
Session 2 – Commitments 1 and 2 of Disciple-Making Parents – In this session, we start our journey through 2 Timothy 3:14-15, looking at the process 2nd gen Christians go through and how the most important commitment has to do with our “North Star.” We also look at the power of the local church.
Session 3 – Model and Love. In this session, we talk about two of the most important qualities of our discipleship – modeling a living faith and making our home a loving place. We will talk about home as a place of sanctification and how to emotionally connect with our children.
Session 4 – Teach, Serve, and Pray. In this session, we talk about our commitment to teach the gospel and the Bible and how to do that. We will give particular attention to making suggestions for family devotions and speaking the gospel to your children.
Session 5 – Issues Teens Face. In this optional session, we take a look at some special issues that teens face. We will also quickly cover some thoughts on doubts and the media.
