You Don't Have to Change Diapers

Discipleship doesn’t stop when life gets busy — it gets deeper.
This week, Drew Baum talks about helping adults grow steady, rooted faith through community, consistency, and everyday obedience. We discuss Life Groups, leadership development, and how the church becomes family as we walk with one another through every season of life.
Because mature faith grows best together.

Why Teach Students at Church

Students don’t just need answers — they need adults who care.
This week, Ford Rigney talks about leading students who are asking hard questions about faith, identity, culture, and doubt. We explore why consistent adult connection is essential and how meaningful relationships in the church help students stay rooted in Christ long after graduation.
Because students may forget a lesson — but they won’t forget who showed up for them.

Why Teach Kids at Church?

Why does teaching kids at church really matter?
This week, Gretchen Mahan explores the heart behind kids ministry and why these foundational years are so important in a child’s walk with Christ. We talk about shaping faith early, partnering with parents, and creating environments where kids don’t just learn Bible stories — they begin to know and trust the God of the Bible.
Because when faith takes root young, it grows strong for a lifetime.

Why Teach Preschoolers at Church?

The earliest years matter more than we think.
This week, Emily Barber shares how discipleship begins long before kids can read a Bible or sit through a lesson. From partnering with parents to creating safe, joyful environments, we talk about what it looks like to plant the very first seeds of faith in preschoolers and their families.
Because deep roots don’t start later — they start small.
