Family Devotions
The Church is not a building. The Church is God’s people. We believe worshipping God should not be something we just do on the weekend. As Deuteronomy 6 says, we should be talking about what God has done when we “sit in [our] house, and when [we] walk by the way, and when [we] lie down, and when [we] rise.” We should be teaching our children about our faith. Here are a few resources to help you on your way.
