PARENTING

We desire to equip and empower parents to be the primary faith trainers of their children through resources, classes, and events. You can do it! We’re here to help.

OUR Q1 2025 EMPHASIS IS:
Understanding Generation Z & Generation Alpha

MORE ABOUT GEN Z & ALPHA

Generation Z (born between 1995 and 2009) and Generation Alpha (born between 2010 and 2024) comprise almost 50% of our church and are the two largest generations in history. They are our future and are completely unique from any other generation before them. As parents, it is important for us to understand what makes our children generationally different and how to effectively reach their hearts and minds in an increasingly digital world. RPC's Parenting Ministry is here to help. Check out these recommended resources or visit our parenting kiosks in the lobbies of each campus building.

BABY DEDICATION PARENT CLASS

Sunday, April 30 sasdfnnasldkfja;lsdkfj
Central Campus | NorthPointe South Porch | 9:15a

Christian parents are naturally compelled to present their newborn children to God. This milestone connects new parents with the magnificent responsibility and opportunity of leading their children spiritually. When parents present their children to God even as Mary and Joseph did, they’re acknowledging two simple facts. First, this new baby is God’s creation and therefore God’s possession. Second, as stewards of God’s possession, parents have the responsibility to intentionally raise the child in a way that’s pleasing to God. In this class, we will discuss what this might look like, and how we at RPC can partner with you on this journey.


The Baby Dedication ceremony will occur at both campuses the following weekend, January 29, during Sunday morning services.
