Grandparenting from a Christian Perspective

The most valuable legacy we can leave is our spiritual legacy of faith in Jesus Christ. Grandparents have an incredible opportunity to create a legacy of faith in their grandchildren and generations to follow and at the same time receive years of great fun (yes, some of it very tiring!). What does God’s Word teach about family heritage? What are the responsibilities and benefits of grandparenting from a Christian perspective?

Join Renee and Jim Trevathan for a two-part class filled with experiences and ideas on navigating the joys and challenges of grandparenting under the Lord’s leading. The Trevathans are well-equipped in this area, having ten grandkids of their own ranging in age from 4 to 16 years, from their three adult kids who are in their late thirties and early forties. Renee and Jim have a tremendous wealth of stories and support for anyone walking through their grandparenting years.
