GPS Workshops
GPS offerings:
leading families to connect with God, People and Service at each stage of a child’s life
Nurturing a family’s faith is more than a Sunday morning and Wednesday night activity. It’s a 24 hour a day – 365 day per year commitment, and we want to be your partner and resource throughout your child’s life in developing your family’s core values and fostering your child’s growth in God. The following workshops are held regularly throughout the year. Each workshop includes a follow up presentation in the parent’s service of choice, to focus the family on the importance of their commitment and to engage the congregation in actively praying for and supporting these families.
