A NOTE FROM PASTOR ANDREW

Hello Parents! As a Student Ministry, we wholeheartedly believe that King Jesus speaks to and changes the lives of middle and high school students – they aren’t too young to grab a hold of the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our greatest desire is to walk alongside you, be available to you, and be a resource for you as your students navigate the waters of their teenage years.

We are praying for you and for your students! If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out! We look forward to partnering with you in the days, months, and years ahead!

EVENTS FOR PARENTS

PARENT DINNER – A FREE EVENT

September 14, 2023 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm | Hall 2

As a Student Ministry, we want to do whatever we can to help you, partner with you, come alongside you, and be another gospel centered influence in the life of your student. So, we would love the opportunity to spend some time together, get to know each other, and hopefully even brainstorm some ways that we can make a really big impact on your student’s life, together!

There will be plenty of food and great conversation. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to meet small group leaders and parents of other students as well.

You’ll also get the opportunity to hear the vision of Student Ministry from Pastor Andrew, Pastor Zack and Girls Ministry Director, Kim Bain.

GUARDING DIGITAL DOORWAYS: PARENT CONFERENCE

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 | 6:30pm | Worship Center

IBC Kids/Students: Resilient Parenting Conference Series brings you “Guarding Digital Doorways” on Nov. 17 in the Worship Center from 6:30-8:00pm (8-8:30 will be Q & A). 

It takes 5 layers in order to create an environment where kids are ready for an online world that really doesn’t care about their safety and protection. We’ll cover the critical relational side of protection, PLUS monitoring software, DNS solutions, app settings, and other technical ideas for covering your bases. Both on the home network and when they’re somewhere else.

This Parenting Conference includes a lot of awesome, technical details…but it will be presented in a basic and completely relatable way (90 minutes + QA).

Kids Kare available if registered early enough (limited space)
