Until the Story is Told - Parent Connect

A community of parents finding their way.
Through the highs and the lows of everyday.
A place to meet other people
experiencing similar family stages.
A safe place to connect with God
through parenting.
Learning together and supporting each other.
Tears of happiness and sadness,
a first soccer goal or a bad day at school.
A place of belonging no matter the shape or size of your family.
Everyone is heard, all the successes and struggles of parenting are celebrated and
shared in community.
With transparency and togetherness
friendship grows.
Finding new connections
and meeting other parents.
Parent Connect cultivates real conversations.
Breaking down the superficial ideas and pressure of being a parent.
With compassion and understanding, a group that meets every week.
Everyone is growing, exploring and learning together.
Through exciting news and vulnerable conversations.
As busy as life gets there is a space to confide in,
to receive prayers you may need.
A place that helps your parenting struggles feel attainable.
Through times of confusion and loneliness,
we find a place to connect here at church.
Showing up is something enough, a reminder of your progress.
Parent Connect is a safe place to help lead you through spirituality and parenting.
