Equipping Parents to Disciple Their Children at Champion Forest Baptist Church
Author: David Howard Upchurch
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Children
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
This project seeks to equip parents of Champion Forest Baptist Church to understand and practice disciple-making in their homes. The emphasis of the project relies on scriptural exhortations to parents to disciple their children and for them to utilize their personal testimony and other life stories in family settings. In chapter 1 the project goals and church context are discussed. The primary goal was to equip parents to use their personal testimony and other stories in the discipleship process with their children. This topic was chosen to help parents, who believe it is their responsibility to make disciples of their children, but they do not feel equipped or prepared. In chapter 2 the biblical passages to be interpreted were introduced and explained. These passages contain direct commands and some methods for parents to follow as the primary disciple-makers in their homes. Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Psalm 78:1-8, Ephesians 6:1-4, and 2 Timothy 1:3-5 and 3:14-15 were chosen to demonstrate consistency in both Testaments of the Bible and the unique role of the parents. In chapter 3 the sociological impact of parents and their stories was considered. The role of parents in society is ever changing but parents remain a unique, powerful influence on a child's education and maturation. When parents use their stories, they harness a powerful tool used by educators and even ancient parents who often used these stories to communicate important truths. In chapter 4 the results of the pre-class survey and post-class survey were examined. Champion Forest Baptist Church is very similar to other churches who have participated in the Family Practices Survey. Of special note were the questions for parents indicating the use, or lack of use, of their spiritual stories. All Christians can and should use their testimony to declare the gospel. Therefore, Christian parents can and should use their testimony in their home with their children. Finally, in chapter 5 the entire project is evaluated and reflected upon. There were some significant discoveries in parents’ practices, and there were some strategies and methods that could be improved on. Overall, the project succeeded in getting the parents to tell their stories and declare God’s glory.

Equipping Parents at Pickens First Baptist Church in Pickens, South Carolina to be the Primary Disciplers of Their Children

ISBN:
Category : Church work with parents

Pages : 162
Book Description
This project included a seven-week curriculum designed to equip parents to be the primary disciplers of their children. This curriculum utilized the “Family Discipleship Perceptions and Practices Survey” from the book Family Ministry Field Guide by Timothy Paul Jones before and after the project was implemented to gauge the parents’ understanding of family discipleship in the home. The curriculum placed an emphasis on fathers discipling their children while also equipping the mothers. At the end of the seven-week curriculum, parents received guidance to develop a long-term discipleship plan and resources from the church to help them continue the discipleship process. Chapter 1 of this project includes the ministry context of PFBC, along with the rationale, purpose, goals, research methodologies, definitions, limitations, and delimitations of the project. Chapter 2 exegetes four texts on family discipleship: Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Psalm 78:1-8; Ephesians 6:1-4, and Matthew 28:18-20, providing the biblical foundation for the project. Chapter 3 analyzes biblical manhood and womanhood, the family-equipping model of ministry, and historical foundations related to family discipleship. In chapter 4 of this project, the development and implementation of the curriculum is surveyed, while chapter 5 gives an overall evaluation. Parents’ perceptions and practices of family discipleship were positively influenced throughout the course of this project. Before project implementation, only 43 percent of parents prioritized family discipleship. At the conclusion of the project, that number increased to 95 percent. In addition, parental practices increased in 8 out of the 9 areas measured. For example, family prayer and Bible reading increased 12 percent, discussion of spiritual matters increased 14 percent, and family worship time at home increased 37 percent. Finally, when asked how many times in the past two months they had talked with their spouse or close friend about their child’s spiritual development, this number also increased from 29 percent to 58 percent.

Pages : 129
Book Description
Chapter 1 argued that based on the needs of the community it was necessary to initiate a ministry project at First Baptist Church of Ellington, Missouri, to equip parents to disciple their children. This project involved a parent equipping seminar and weekly publication of "Talk Sheet" discipleship tools. Change in parental practices and perceptions of family discipleship was measured by having project participants take a before and after survey called the "Family Discipleship Practices and Perceptions Survey." Chapter 2 provided biblical support for equipping parents to disciple their children from Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Psalm 78:1-8, Ephesians 6:1-4, and 2 Timothy 3:14-15. Chapter 3 gave theoretical support for equipping parents to disciple their children, citing research from the social sciences and ministry. Chapter 4 detailed the project's implementation. The ministry project included conducting and assessing a Home Discipleship Training and Equipping Seminar, and weekly publication of "Talk Sheet" discipleship tools which were assessed by an expert panel. Finally, a "Family Discipleship Practices and Perceptions Surveys" (appendix 3) was completed by project participants before and after the project implementation. Finally, a t-test demonstrated a positive statistical change in the before and after surveys. The fifth chapter described the strengths and weaknesses of the project. Suggestions were made for implementing a similar project in other congregations. Finally, a theological reflection section stated that the project demonstrated that ministry leaders can effectively equip parents with the skills necessary to disciple their children by creating user friendly tools and training parents how to use them.

Training Parents of Washington Heights Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio, to be the Primary Disciplers of Their Families
Author: Joshua Michael Tuttle
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Child rearing
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
This project’s purpose was to equip the parents of Washington Heights Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio, to be the primary disciplers of their children. Chapter 1 presents the history and ministry context of Washington Heights and the goals of this project. Chapter 2 provides exegesis of four passages of Scripture (Deut 6; Josh 24; Ps 78; and Eph 6) to show that God has ordained and intended the family to be the primary means of discipleship in the life of a child, while mandating the people of God to come alongside in support. Chapter 3 observes contemporary work in the area of family ministry to show that for family discipleship to be successful, families and churches must adjust the way they interact with and support one another. Churches must come alongside parents instead of taking their responsibility; parents must show their children that devotion to God encompasses every area of life; and regular worship must happen both at home as well as in the congregational setting. Chapter 4 describes the project itself, recounting the content and teaching methodology of the specific course curriculum. Chapter 5 evaluates the efficiency of the project based on completion of the specific goals. Ultimately, this project seeks to equip parents with the resources and confidence to disciple their families in the ways and life of Jesus Christ.
