Parenting Classes

The ministry of parenting is a gift and responsibility from the Lord. Sojourn desires to help equip parents to raise their children through the four major life stages in a way that reflects and points to the gospel: (1) expectant parents and newborns, (2) toddler and pre-school, (3) school-age, and (4) teenage years.  In 2008, the leadership of Sojourn’s Student and Family ministry (at that time called Sojourn Home), taught several parenting classes–giving Sojourn’s parents an overview of the parenting struggles faced during each of these stages.  The notes from these classes are now available here in PDF format.
