HEY PARENTS!!!
Here in Kingdom Families we believe that discipleship starts at home and that’s why FAMILIES is in our name! It is our joy to come along side parents as you walk with your kids in their faith. It is a beautiful job to be the primary discipler of your children but where to start? Throughout the year we host events for families to come together to play and learn. We also provide discipleship tools and resources that can be used at home to aid you in discipling your kids.
