ROUND 3 — TUESDAY 1:00-3:00PM
The Important Role of the Church in Family Discipleship
Rooted Ministry, a ministry that advances gospel-centered youth and family ministry, will provide three micro-workshops to equip churches to invest in the next generation. “How the Whole Church Can Disciple Young People” will provide an overview of how all people and all departments of a church can contribute to biblical discipleship of young people. “The Critical Need and Simple Direction for Equipping Parents to Disciple Kids” will paint a picture of how any church, regardless of size and resources, can facilitate an effective family discipleship ministry. Finally, “Ministry to the Modern Child” will explain how today’s youth are growing up in a shame / honor culture due to the ubiquity of social media and technology. The workshop will provide guidance on how to proclaim the gospel to children in shame / honor cultures.
