Parent Ministry of IBC
Welcome to the Parent Page of our website. Our humble desire in the IBC Student Ministry is to come along side parents and assist in whatever ways possible to help them disciple thier students to become mature believers in Christ. We understand that parents and the family are God's primary vehicle in discipling students and it is not our desire to replace parents, but to assist and equip parents. This website is designed for that purpose. If there is anyway that we can better create this site to assist you, please let me know.
Here are some of the key features that we hope you will check out...
All of our upcoming events can be found under the 180 Events & Crossroads Events section of the website.
Make sure you check out the web links to find recommended sites to check out on the web. This is an incredible resource.
You can also keep up with our teaching and listen to recent sermons for your own edification or to discuss them with your child.
Also following us on Twitter is a great way to stay informed on what is going on in Student Ministries.
I would love to know each of you personally so please stop me and say hi and let me know if there is anything we can do in our ministry for you.
