Grandparenting For Faith

Calling Christian Grandparents in and around the Midlands area….
We’d love you to join us at our Grandparenting for Faith Taster Day.
Anyone who is a grandparent or grandparent-figure is most welcome to join us, to be encouraged, inspired and empowered to support the faith of the children and young people around them.
This is a partnership between BRF/Parenting for Faith and CYM.
We’d love to include as many grandparents as possible but places are limited to 100, so we advise early booking. Church leaders welcome to come along for free if you’re interested in senior’s ministry and want to find out about this new course.
At the event, we will be exhibiting some of the elements from our course for grandparents and churches – and we’d love your feedback so that we can adjust it before it is launched in April. You will also have the option to be recorded to share any tips and advice with other Christian grandparents, as part of the course.
Book your tickets online or email Sarah Holmes (sarah.holmes@cym.ac.uk). Discounts for 10 or more from one church, please email for details.
