02. Parenting & Children · Deuteronomy 6:6–7

Raising Children in Faith & Building a Godly Home

God entrusts parents as the primary spiritual shepherds of their household, and the church comes alongside moms and dads as a faithful partner. From infant dedications to teenage mentorship, we equip families to nurture lifelong devotion to Jesus.

Raising Children in Faith

Partnering with families every Sunday at 10:30 AM through Kingdom Kids (Ages 4–11)—pairing Scripture memory, worship, and parent take-home guides so biblical truth continues all week.

Youth Discipleship & Mentorship

Walking with middle and high school students in Ignite Youth (Ages 12–18) and preparing young adults (19+) to own their faith with conviction, identity, and wholesome peer friendship.

Building a Godly Home

Parenting forums covering family devotion rhythms, bridging immigrant heritage and American school culture with wisdom, healthy boundaries, and unconditional Christlike warmth.

03. Family Fellowship · Acts 2:42–47

Community Events, Family Prayer & Intergenerational Connection

No family is meant to walk alone. Around shared tables, bowed heads, and joyful church celebrations, households become extended spiritual family—bearing one another's burdens and rejoicing in God's goodness together.

Seasonal Community Events

Elegant Marriage Appreciation Banquets, summer church picnics in Montgomery County, New Year's Eve family watch-night services, and shared cultural meals.

Family Prayer & Household Intercession

Dedicated corporate and home prayer circles where couples pray over one another's marriages, aging parents, children's calling, and peace in every home.

Intergenerational Connection

Weaving grandparents, parents, young adults, and children into one caring fellowship in Amharic, Tigrinya, Afaan Oromoo, and English.
