Children - WELCOME!
As a parent or guardian, the most important job you will ever have is that of raising a child. Whether this is your first child or your seventh or a grandparent doing it all over again, this is your one and only chance to raise this particular child. The good news is that you do not have to do it alone.
As your church, we don’t want to miss this opportunity to tell you some of the really important things that you need to know as parents. Being a godly parent does not mean having all the right answers. Aren't you glad for that? Rather, being the parent God wants you to be really comes down to asking the right questions, having a plan, and working the plan. So what is the plan you ask?
Fortunately, God has given parents not only the responsibility for raising a child, but also the blueprint for success. At Morningside, we will believe that raising a child to know and grow in Christ is best accomplished as a partnership where what happens in the home is just as important as what happens at church. So, our programs and teachings utilize age-appropriate styles and methods that facilitate learning and family discussion. Each month, we tackle one virtue that helps children discover God's character and how He wants to use that virtue to change us and the world around us. Parents are given resources to continue the dialogue at home. After all, you as the parent will always be the most influential figure in your child's life.
