Parent Resources
Where to go when you don’t know where to go
Raising kids to honor Jesus with their lives can be one of the most difficult responsibilities as a parent. We believe, as the church, that one of our primary roles is to equip people to grow in their faith personally as well as equip them to lead others into maturity in Christ. Paul teaches this in Ephesians 4:
“12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” Ephesians 4:12-16 (ESV)
This resource page is intended to help start conversations, help bring clarity to complex topics and do so in light of the Gospel. This is by no means exhaustive and comprehensive, but we hope and pray it is a tool to help you guide your kids through complex topics in culture and do so through the lens of the Gospel. These are not official stances of Bethel Church or the Assemblies of God, nor do we completely and one hundred percent agree with every word that is spoken or written in these resources. However, these resources will be helpful in understanding different viewpoints on different topics. We also hope to continue adding different resources that address different topics in the future. If you have any questions or would like to have a further dialogue about anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to us! We love you and your family very much and want to help guide you all through life with Jesus.

Our lives are busy. As parents, we want to prioritize our children. We want to do everything we can to invest in them relationally, to guide them developmentally and to help them grow in their faith in Christ. But it’s just so easy to get caught up in the urgent day-to-day business of life.
Every parent has 936 weeks of influence from the time their child is born until they graduate. Parent Cue helps you count the weeks and connects you with practical things to read, do or say to help you engage with the heart of your child this week. Designed for parents of babies through high schoolers, these prompts will come in the form of videos and things to talk about in the morning, at meal time or while you are cuddling with your toddler or driving in the car. Each week there’s even a Phase Cue to help you understand the developmental phase your child is in today.
936 weeks. You don’t want to miss a single one.
