One of the best things we can do to build a bridge between the church and the home is to provide our parents with solid resources that set them up to win.  Our goal is to put helpful tools in their hands that help them feel confident as they lead their kids to follow Jesus.  

Here's a list of the best resources that our Children's Ministry team recommends to parents at Southland.

Raising children is one of the biggest challenges in life. It requires all of our strengths and talents. It makes us keenly aware of our weaknesses.
