FAMILY DISCIPLESHIP
Family Discipleship is not your ordinary faith formation. This experience transcends the traditional religious education model to include families with children first through sixth grade. The focus is on building a relationship with Jesus while building relationships with one another.
We know that parents play the primary role as the first educators of their children and help set a spiritual foundation for their family. At Holy Apostles, we support you in this role by providing tools and experiences to practice their faith, both as part of our community and at home.
During Family Discipleship, parents have the opportunity to participate in adult formation to help foster their faith while children are taught in a fun interactive age - appropriate group setting. Family Discipleship meets once a month and is approximately 90 minutes. Childcare is available for children ages 2-5.​
