We believe that Scripture is clear that parents are primary in making disciples of their children, our hope is to partner with families in their pursuit of this mission, coming alongside them in the discipleship process. We do by creating fun environments, engaging curriculum, and helpful resources that center on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In our Sunday programming for children from birth—preschool, school we strive to create the hall of a strong foundation. We teach from the Scriptures and help parents proclaim to their kids who God is and what He has done in the person and work of Jesus Christ. In our class time we sing, dance, and teach the Bible, watch stories focusing on our six foundational truths: God made everything, God is in charge of everything, God is good, Jesus came to save sinners, God wants to talk with us, and the Church is God’s family.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
In our Sunday programming for kindergarten—5th graders, ASF kids, we continue to build upon the strong foundation children have built. We do this by teaching about who God is and what He has done in the Bible. While attending sunday school, children will participate in a large group environment designed to model corporate worship, prayer, and teaching. Children learn that God is wise, generous, loving, good, and so much more.
God calls the family to play a vital role in discipling the next generation
How this is accomplished varies from family to family and is as unique as the DNA of each home. Family discipleship isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it isn’t easy—even the most intentional of Christian parents may find themselves at a loss as to how to begin. At ASF, we want to come alongside parents to help them craft their own approach to family discipleship. Though each family is unique, we believe that vibrant family discipleship can take shape through family worship and a framework of time, moments, and milestones.
