Churchwide Worship - Sunday @ 10:30am
Generational Discipleship
Quest Club
Purpose: Partnering with parents to glorify God by making disciples of the next generation.
WHEN: SUNDAY NIGHTS (6-7:30p)
WHAT: CHILDREN'S MINISTRY TO TEACH AND UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURE WITH PARENT GUIDED LEARNING THROUGHOUT THE WEEK
Adventurers (3-K), Explorers (1st-2nd), and Navigators (3rd-5th) learn the Bible with an eye toward application through Bible lessons, games, crafts, songs, projects, and workbooks.
Family Nights
Most of the people at Gospel and whom Gospel is reaching did not grow up having family devotions, or a family worship time, or any family habit for parents to pass the faith on to their children. So to help the parents who choose to obey Deuteronomy 6 in passing on their faith to the next generation, we have Family Night.
WHEN: FIRST THREE WEDNESDAYS OF EACH MONTH (7-8p)
WHAT: CASUAL, WHOLE FAMILY ENVIRONMENT IN THE GYM
We use a family devotional book called "Long Story Short" that provides a 5 day per week guide that takes less than 10 minutes each day. Family Night lessons are based on the upcoming week of learning.
Family Togetherness
No splitting up or spreading out. All age groups stay together in the same space, and each household sits, learns, and works together.
Just like a real family at home, parents adapt the learning and activities for older and younger ages.
Family Interaction
Fast-paced, short segments of reading, discussion, activities, and games give every attention span the chance to learn and relearn.
Just like a real family struggles to challenge the teens while keeping the 3 year old focused.
Family Comradery
Meeting 3 weeks of each month encourages us to know there are other families working at generational discipleship with us.
Just like all busy families need accountability, we are helped to stay on track knowing each week begins a new story.
Legacy Path is a plan for helping parents make lifelong disciples by marking milestones of spiritual growth in their child.
