We sincerely thank all of those individuals and agencies that have partnered with us through the years. 

 

Positive and Powerful Christian Parenting provides practical parenting skills to effectively handle day-to-day struggles, while focusing on the long-term goal of raising mature Christians. Through weekly sessions, this effective series will equip you with the skills and resources to be the best parent you can be.
