Parents and carers are perfectly positioned to help their children meet and know God. But sometimes we struggle to know how to do that. This course goes through five key tools which can be implemented in any family situation, with any age children.
We will be running a Parenting for Faith course on Thursday evenings on zoom. It will run for eight weeks and will be on 6, 13, 20, 27 March, 3 April then there will be a two week break for Easter and it will resume on 24 April and continue on 1 and 8 May. One booking covers an entire church or group so get booked on now and you can invite as many people as you like.
Bookings will open shortly.
Babies and Toddlers course
Right from their very earliest days, babies and toddlers can meet and know God.
Parents and carers get to be a key part of helping them to do that, and churches, friends and family all make up the supportive community that encourages and equips them on the journey.
Parenting as a church leader
Being a church leader affects every part of our lives, including our children. We all want to be good parents and good leaders. We want to see our children flourish spiritually and emotionally. But how?
Parenting as a church leader requires unique skills and choices, and it can feel like a lonely journey. Join other church leaders for an online day designed especially for you – as a parent. Hear the results of research, share your experience with others, talk honestly about your journey and hear from those who’ve walked this path before.
There will be a Parenting as a Church Leader Zoom day on 9 October 2025 – we will post details here when booking is open.
Parenting Teens
This course launched in 2024 and can be found here.
There will be a Parenting Teens Zoom course in Summer 2025 – we will post details here when booking is open.

The Forge Gathering from Parenting for Faith is a residential retreat for local children’s, youth and families’ leaders (both paid and voluntary) hosted by the Parenting for Faith team.
We will have one online and one in person Forge gathering in 2025. Details will be posted here shortly.
