The Bible is clear that God's intention is for parents to disciple and train their children-to "impress [God's commandments] on your children" according to Deuteronomy 6:7. As you prepare for another year, let us encourage you to prayerfully consider a new opportunity for PCA parents called Kingdom Parent Institute (KPi).
Kingdom Parent Institute is an opportunity for parents to learn practical and biblical wisdom in the area of Kingdom Family. This year our institute will be divided into two different sessions. The fall session will be the entry level 7 week course taught by Head of School, Larry Taylor. Mr. Taylor will focus on the foundations of a Kingdom Family such as a personal, marriage and family plans. The spring session will be two, 4-week seminars that delve deeper into the issues that affect Kingdom Families. Topics like Biblical and Cultural Issues, Kingdom Finances, Age of Opportunity, Manhood, Early Childhood Training and Mentoring are possible topics that will be offered.
