Called to Be a Parent

Called to be a Parent includes four programs designed to help parents discover God’s calling through their life as a parent. The four programs include:

Called to Parent a Young Child
Called to Parent Children
Called to Parent Teenagers
Called to Parent Young Adults

The Parent Guide is designed using a three movement process: 1) What’s Changing in My Life, 2) What’s Emerging in My Life?, and 3) How Should I Be Living My Life? The Tip Sheet provides suggestions for living their call as parents at a particular stage in the life of their children. Both are designed in a concise format so they can be used in a variety of settings - individual, home, small group, or parent gathering.

The Facilitator Guide provides a 60–90 minute gathered session plan for leading a session for parents using the Parent Guide as the primary content. Close the session by giving the Tip Sheet to every parent as a take-home reminder of what was covered in the gathered session.

All churches have permission to download, print, and adapt the materials for their use. The three resources come in a PDF format for easy printing, and a Word format to customize. They are available in English and Spanish versions.
