resources for parents

Back to School

School is back in session for most of our families, and that means families getting into daily routines!  Between homework, sports practices, after-school clubs, and trying to find a reasonable bedtime for everyone, we know it can be tough to find any more time in a day!


At LCC, we intentionally planned to start our fall programs for families after Labor Day, to help you build those rhythms with your family.  But we didn't want to leave out time to develop the faith of your kids!  We know that parents have the greatest influence over their children's faith, so we want to partner with you and equip you with the tools and resources you need to make time in your family for developing their faith!  Trust us, we know how challenging parenting can be, and being spiritual mentors to your kids is an even greater challenge!  But we believe in you! (and so did God when he gave you your kids!)  So we'd like to equip you with these resources as you make time for faith with your kids!
