Discipling Our Children, Discipling Ourselves
Facilitated by Deacon Julie Tilton (M.S. Family Development, Virginia Tech) in the Creation Room (Children’s Wing)
Discipleship is much more than teaching our children about the Bible. We want them to trust in Christ, recognize they have been fundamentally changed, and then seek to live their new identity with deep gratitude and joy. We can help ourselves and our children memorize scripture, the books of the Bible, and even understand the story of redemption, but, like trying to make banana bread by simply laying out all the ingredients, until we do something with these ingredients, we will not get banana bread nor a mature disciple who looks like Christ.
Please join Deacon Julie as we learn together how to disciple ourselves and our children to become living, walking images of Jesus Christ. Our textbook will be Family Discipleship That Works: Guiding your Children to Know, Love, and Act like Jesus by Brian Dembowczyk.
