Hey families,
One of the greatest opportunities we have as parents is to have gospel-centered conversations with our children. Yet, issues such as feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, busy schedules, and others often create roadblocks in the face of this powerful opportunity we have been given. We, as a church, want to encourage and equip you to have these conversations with your children no matter their ages. Below are some resources we would like to offer as we challenge you this month to begin taking steps towards gospel conversations with your children. Let us know what questions you have or ways we can come alongside you.

The responsibility of training up the next generation to love and serve the Lord can feel overwhelming. That’s why we are providing this guide with simple ways to introduce gospel conversations with your preschoolers and elementary-aged kids into your daily life. Gospel conversations do not need to be difficult, formal, or comprehensive but should begin a life-long learning journey between a budding disciple and our God.
To aid parents in gospel conversations at home, here are four coloring pages with questions on the back to spark discussion. Enjoy this precious time with your children as you engage them with timeless truths! Click below to download a PDF version of each coloring sheet.
