Milestone Focus:
Parents learn about how to partner with God in the spiritual birth process of their child.
Parents learn to notice the work of the Holy Spirit in their child’s life.
Parents learn the importance of paying attention to their own gospel stories and help their children identify “gospel moments” in their own lives.
Children learn about their daily, spiritual needs and learn to look to Jesus for help.
By the grace of God, children have personal experiences of the realties of Ephesians 2.
