One generation will commend your works to another.
—Psalm 145:4
Faith Stepping Stones (FSS) is an innovative family ministry program that recognizes the incredible impact parents have on the faith life of their children. Biblically sound and relevant, FSS equips parents to raise physically and emotionally healthy children. Most importantly, parents learn practical, effective ways to live and share the love of Jesus in their homes. Each of the three “Stones” is a stand-alone seminar for parents.
Through group discussion, experiential learning activities, and Christ-centered encouragement, parents will gain age-appropriate insights into the emotional, physical, and spiritual development of their children.
In addition, each Stone equips and encourages parents to implement the following family practices at home:
Stepping Stone 1: Raising a Healthy Baby (birth-18 months)
Blessing their infants each night as they put them to bed
Stepping Stone 2: Raising a Healthy Preschooler (18 months-4 years)
Praying with and blessing preschoolers, and sharing the Gospel using age-appropriate materials
Stepping Stone 3: Entry Into School (5-6 years)
Sharing daily Highs & Lows, in addition to sharing the Word, praying with, and blessing their school-age children
