“Parents are requesting resources to assist them in parenting their kids,” shares Erica Sharp, Pastor of Family Ministry at Ginghamsburg Church. “This seminar is targeted to parents, teachers and leaders of kids in grade 3-12, but all are welcome to this free event.”

Family Ministry at Ginghamsburg Church is a specially designed place for children age 6 weeks - grade 12 to grow in their relationship with Jesus. Kids are met right where they are through powerful worship, engaging teaching and relationship-building moments.

The Orange strategy is used at Ginghamsburg to grow champions for Christ. Orange is a nationally known and widely praised curriculum. It is family-friendly and family-focused to drive home key lessons from God’s word through fun and adventure and equips parents to be their children’s primary faith builder all week long.

For this event, Ginghamsburg is partnering with Family & Youth Initiatives (FYI) whose mission is Empowering Families, Providing Hope.” FYI began in 1978 as the Tri-County Right to Life Educational Foundation. It has transformed over the years to encompass multiple programs addressing the needs of our communities. Providing pregnancy/parenting skills, educating youth about making healthy decisions, helping clients get their GED, preparing preschool children by helping them develop necessary social and emotional skills and providing mentors and leadership skills for at risk middle/high school students are all programs designed to partner with families at various stages of life.

“We seek to empower families for a better future and give youth tools to grow in character, responsibility and self-sufficiency,” shares Pat Banaszak, Executive Director and Co-Founder of FYI.

According to Sharp, “This parent forum with Josh Shipp is the first of four opportunities for parents, school and community leaders to gather together to gain valuable insight in raising, guiding and encouraging our children. The topics for the next forums will be racial reconciliation, relationships and technology.”
