Raise strong, resilient children

Whether you are raising a temperamental toddler, an insecure tween or a tenacious teen, we’re here to help. With Biblically based articles, books and broadcasts with advice on common parenting struggles, ways to pass on your faith, how to effectively discipline and more, we have something for every parent.

Below you’ll find a number of ways we’re here to support you as the parent as well as resources for kids and youth to help them grow in their faith.

Counselling

Raising children of all ages can be challenging, but sometimes those challenges become heartbreaking. Rebellious teens, prodigal children, strong-willed toddlers – the list could go on. We offer a free, one-time counselling consultation to help you when parenting struggles become too much to bear.
