We have a parent Facebook group to keep them informed and give out relevant articles and teaching topics for them as parents. We have introduced them to podcast that are for parents like minfluence.com. There is a weekly podcast that is great for parents. Link Details: 1 year ago

Our best parent-involved event of the year is our Family Campout Retreat. We go to a campground that has screened in shelters so it's not too rustic. We bring all our food and bedding. Then while we are in the woods for Fri night-Sun. morning, we have worship services and Bible study time (as family groups). Our parents have raved about this the last 2 years and we'll be doing it again next month.We also have parents who go on some of our mission camp trips which keeps them plugged in. Also, you'd think the kids would hate a family event, but they love it. |

I agree with jonbatch's list wholeheartedly, and we've found that numbers 1, 4, and 6 have a much bigger impact than I expected! |

In partnering with parents, we invite them to participate and help in the background, listen in and help with the group discussions. We like to partner kids with adults especially since we do alot of missions building. They are accustomed to working in a youth adult partnership and develop strong adult-youth relationships. It would be my desire to someday link the seniors with the youth in some fashion. |
