Train Up A Child:  Understanding the Spiritual and Psychological Development of Children

Parents and caregivers play a unique and powerful role in shaping a child’s faith. In this seminar, Dr. Brent Bounds will walk through the key developmental stages of childhood and explore how each stage influences a child’s spiritual formation. Grounded in Proverbs 22:6, this seminar is designed to be both educational and encouraging, offering insight and hope as parents seek to raise their children within a Gospel-centered framework.

Whether you’re a current parent, soon-to-be parent, caregiver, or a spiritual parent, this seminar will equip you with a deeper understanding of how God uses each season of childhood to shape hearts and faith—and how you can faithfully shepherd the kids in your care in their current stage.  Plus, this is a great chance to meet and connect with other families from the Hope community!

Childcare will be provided with advanced registration. Childcare space is limited so register early!
