LIMITLESS KIDS

Practical resources for families with kids

These are strange times we are living in. Church has moved online, families are at home and we are now effectively in lockdown. So how do we keep being a generationally focused church?

Here are some tips for parents, children’s ministry teams and church leaders alike. We are all in this together!

Making disciples

Disciples come in all ages. From young to old, all disciples are precious to God. If you are a parent, first of all, well done! You are doing better than you think. There is no ‘correct’ way of discipleship at home, but hopefully God will lead you in your journey of discovery.

Perhaps though, this is a time for family discipleship in your home to take on a whole new level. If you are familiar with family devotions, we pray that God continues to meet with you as you seek Him. If the idea of being intentional with discipleship at home appeals to you, check out these resources.
