Raising Kids for Eternity
Faith in Kids have been on the road taking their seminar Raising Kids for Eternity around the country and on Wednesday 21st April 2027 they will be bringing it to Reading. It should be a great evening and only costs £4. (concessions available) Here is what to expect from the event:
This seminar will explore how faith is best nurtured at home—with strong support from the local church. We’ll look at how faith in Christ transforms our parenting and how that, in turn, can eternally shape our children.
The family home is where it is at. Parents are the key influencers for faith in the lives of their children supported by their church family. This is God’s beautiful design, a family wrapped around a child with a church wrapped around them. We want to support this home church partnership and equip parents to see that it is in the daily grind of home life that eternally significant discipleship happens.
Faith in Kids brings an evening of biblical truth, practical advice, real-life stories and plenty of humour. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, church leader or just passionate about helping the next generation follow Christ, this session is for you.

There must be more than this…

Is this really the best it’s going to be?’ In a relaxed environment, Andy Robinson will speak for about twenty minutes on the goodness of God’s creation and his new creation, giving us a beautiful glimpse of how God made the world in the beginning, and how, through Jesus, he will remake it in the end.
