​

We sincerely thank all of those individuals and agencies that have partnered with us through the years. 

 

Positive and Powerful Christian Parenting provides practical parenting skills to effectively handle day-to-day struggles, while focusing on the long-term goal of raising mature Christians. Through weekly sessions, this effective series will equip you with the skills and resources to be the best parent you can be.

During the program, parents will learn core skills that will aid in raising children and interacting with them in the most beneficial way possible. Instructed by a counselor with nearly 20 years experience as a nationally certified school psychologist, Positive and Powerful Christian Parenting offers parents “a strong foundation for creating happy and healthy homes.”
