ACTS Classes on Parenting  
9 wks, 1 ½ hrs Parents can sometimes exasperate their children through their own improper attitudes and inconsistencies. The Reb Bradley video series gives us tools to establish parental control in our homes. God’s design for training and disciplining our children is found in His Word. This class is aimed toward parents planning for a family, those with newborns and toddlers, and children through mid to late elementary school. The cost is $12 which will cover the cost of the book and the class syllabi. These materials will be available in class.
6 wks, 1 hr For grandparents or other mature adults who have a significant influence in the lives of children. Through lecture, guest speakers, panels, and class discussion, participants will explore the issues that face grandparents today. You will get good ideas about how to have a Godly influence in the lives of your grandchildren whether they live nearby or far away.
4 wks - 2 hrs This class will offer information and innovative ideas to help you teach your child healthy, nonfood-related ways of coping with the stress of life. You will learn how to make changes based on facts and faith, resulting in a child being fit on the outside and joyful on the inside. No cost for registration. No text; helpful resource recommendations will be given in class
12 wks - 2 hrs Mom to Mom is a biblical, heart-to-heart ministry led by godly mentor moms. It is a safe place for Christians and non-Christians, married or single, working moms to share the joys and frustrations of motherhood and to explore the purposes and promises God gives to parents. Women will be refreshed and encouraged in their faith and hope in the powerful God who gave them their children.
12 wks - 2 hrs New Start 4 Single Moms is a program of hope and healing that works to break the cycle of pain by focusing on both emotional healing and setting new goals. Each mom and her mentor work together step-by-step to move forward spiritually, emotionally, financially, in parenting and in her career through goal setting. Bible studies and practical sessions will move you forward into an inspired and empowered life.
8 wks - 2 hrs Many parents apply the same parenting principles to their pre-adolescent/adolescent children as they do their young children. Such parents often rely on sheltering and strict control while others become frustrated and back off entirely. Fortunately, God has not left us without help. In the Bible, King Solomon modeled for us a perfect balance of leadership and liberty thus helping us transition from parenting children to young adults.
8 wks - 2 hrs How does a boy become a man—a real “Man of God”? Find out how a father needs to relate to his son in order to pass on a Godly legacy. Materials available for $29 in the first class session.
