For Parents
Every Christian parent wants to raise children who will grow up to love and trust Jesus. Parents deliberately search for the church that provides the most opportunities for their kids to grow up in the Lord. We want Sojourn to be that church! Yet, as we continue to build our ministry to children, we must not neglect our homes—where children see our faith on real-time display every day.
At Sojourn, we believe that the home is the front line of Christian ministry to children—not the Sunday school or public church gathering. The practices of a Christian worship service—the Scriptures, prayer, and praise—should be present in the home as well. After all, the most important teaching moments happen at home rather than at church. As the church, our responsibility is to encourage and equip you in your parenting role.

I just wanted to share how encouraged I am by this ministry. My oldest daughter is 5 and has been a part of SojournKids since she was a baby. Recently she has been asking me a ton of questions about the gospel and about who Jesus is. I have been so excited to be able to share the gospel with her and to begin to see fruit of it in her life. I know that a foundation is being laid by the wonderful men and women who volunteer each Sunday to share the gospel with her and the other children. Thank you for supporting me and my family as we seek to teach our girls about the life changing work of the gospel! Jared, Fletcher, and Tom are rock stars in our house!
