Prepare to Lead Your Child to Christ

Ages Vary; Kit Provided At Age 5+

One of the greatest privileges you have as a parent is to help your child come to faith in Christ.  Like many parents, you may not quite know how or when to approach one of the most exciting yet intimidating moments of parenthood.  Some worry that they won’t explain salvation properly.  They might be tempted to just “leave it to the professionals” by relying on people at church or ministry events.  That’s understandable, but God has given you the most important and influential role when it comes to leading your child to Christ.
