We believe that parents are called to be the primary disciplers of their children (Deut. 6:4-9; Eph. 6:4). Parents are those who hold the most influence in a child's life and so we partner with parents in raising kids who exalt God, are equipped in the faith, and evangelize the lost.
See how we do this by reading more below!
Family Milestones
One of the ways we partner with parents is by celebrating Family Milestones!
Milestones signify important steppingstones in the spiritual development of a child. These are checkpoints for families to look back at God’s past faithfulness and forward to upcoming joys and challenges in a child’s growth. At these strategic points, RBC seeks to encourage and equip parents as the primary disciplers of their children by providing specific training and tools to help navigate these different stages in a child’s life.
