THE PARENTING COURSE

Thursday evenings January 22 - March 5 | 8:15pm (hopefully kids in bed by then) by Zoom (no need for babysitters or travel)

Looking for some help as a parent? New City will be providing a 7 week parenting course based on the book, "Gospel-Centered Family" by Ed Moll and Tim Chester. This book is practical, concise and gospel-centered, and we hope will help us learn how to become the parents God wants us to be.

Please sign-up so we can order books and get them before the course starts.

  • Leaders: Pastor Albert & Mary-Ann will host and lead the course.

    Course length: 7 sessions

    Course dates:

    • Thursdays: January 22 – March 5

    Time: 8:15 – 9:45 pm

    Location: Zoom calls – info to be sent after you sign up.

    • This book is gospel-centered in its approach, avoiding common parenting course problems of making parenting legalistic or just about techniques; while also promoting a need to apply the gospel of grace to your own heart as a parent and to your child(ren)’s heart(s) too.

    • This book is also very practical and down to earth, addressing key themes of discipline, growing a culture of forgiveness, speaking the truth in love, being in the word of God together and joining with the church family in mission, seeking to advance the kingdom of God as a nuclear family and as a the family of God as a whole.

    • Chapters are quite short and concise. This allows for some weeks to cover two chapters and makes the amount of reading accessible for busy parents.

  • We will work through the book discussing key points/exercises, and questions.
