Consider this… in an average 12 months, Kids’ Life volunteers will have approximately 40 hours to spend with your child. We’re pumped about making those 40 hours relevant and impactful as we seek to influence your children in the areas of faith and character.  But – get this. In the same 12 months, parents will have roughly 3,000 hours with their children, and that’s after we subtract sleeping and school time.

The math here is pretty simple. Kids’ Life would be missing the boat if we didn’t spend some of our time, effort, and resources on partnering with parents to help them along their journey of teaching their kids about faith, character, and a relationship with Jesus Christ. And here’s how we do that:

Partnering through relationships. For example:

-Your elementary student’s cell group leader wants to meet you
-Take time to say hi to the leaders in your preschool child’s room

Offering resources you can use at home. You’ll find them on this website:

-Small Talk Sheets
-Fridge Door Cards
-God Time Cards
-Family Time Virtue Packs

Imagine your time at home with your children represented by the color red. Picture Kids’ Life’s influence on them as yellow. By working together, we will merge to create a vibrant, life-changing voice in your child’s life… we call it ORANGE.
