Primary & Elementary

We count it a great joy and privilege to partner with parents in teaching children at the earliest ages who God is and what the Gospel means. Our family discipleship plan is a tool to equip parents and our RLF Kids team as they work together to teach biblical theology and reinforce the same truths each week at church and at home. This plan includes weekly lessons taught on Sunday mornings during RLF Kids paired with practical take home guides for parents that include exercises and discussion questions for your family. It is our hope that these guides will be a helpful resource in equipping you through the everyday triumphs and trials of parenthood as you are raising practical missionaries in your own home. (Matt. 28:20, Gal. 4:19)

The aim of our family discipleship plan is to partner with and equip parents in training the next generation to be missionaries of Jesus Christ everywhere they go. We do that by encouraging parents to be living examples to their children and by providing helpful resources to raise kids to know who God is and why He created us. Our family plan is progressive and reflects the mission and core values of the entire church body. It is fit for each stage of adolescence, so that our children and students may grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and be equipped to share the Gospel with the world. The goal of this plan is to help disciple the next generation by coming alongside parents and caregivers with love, support, accountability, purpose, and prayer. The church family can be a great encouragement and provide wonderful partnership with parents and caregivers that supplements and strengthens the journey of parenthood.

The family discipleship plan at Risen Life is an ongoing pursuit. We do not take the responsibility of training the next generation lightly and expect the development of this plan to take time, but our kids are worth it.

Using this guide, Sermon Notes For Kids, parents can encourage their children to follow along in the service and discuss what they are hearing and learning at home.
