Thank you so much for making this information accessible.
I was visiting Westminster this last weekend, and was struck by the clear checkpoints listed on the wall in the children’s check in area. I am on staff at a church and we are shaping our Family Ministry. Could you tell me how you came up with the parenting check points and direct me to any resources you used to create them? Also, how do you equip parents in each of those stages? Do you have any specific resources you give parents to help them be a better, coach, counselor, etc?
You are impacting churches across the country with your clear and empowering approach to family ministry. Thank you for all you are doing! Any more that you could share with me, that I could share with my staff would be so appreciated.
Thank you!
Thanks ma’am!
God has blessed us with an incredible team at Westminster and that team worked for many months to come up with the checkpoints for kids/students/parents. We have a resource library online at http://fosteringfamily.org/. Also our Family Pastor, Dan Vandewarker is awesome and totally worth connecting with at danv@westminster.org
Hope that helps 🙂
Pastor Phil, Looking forward to tomorrow’s Men’s Breakfast at Westminister Chapel.
