Our Ultimate Priority as Parents

Nurturing Your Child’s Faith

What does it take to impart faith to your child?

1. Teach your child your values and beliefs about the meaning of life .

2. Take your child to a good local church on a regular basis. It’s like finding a good port to make needed repairs and take on fresh supplies.

3. Make faith an everyday topic of conversation, maintaining an eternal perspective.

4. Teach your child the difference between right and wrong. Consistently model your values and beliefs. You’ll show your child how to sail around the rocks of moral relativism.

5. Give your child the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ while he or she is young.

6. Pray for your child faithfully through the years.

7. Enlist the assistant of godly grandparents.

8. Affirm the need to hang tightly to your faith no matter how fierce the storm.
