Grandparenting For Faith
Written by Dr Sarah Holmes
on 13th March 2025
We are currently working, in partnership with BRF/Parenting for Faith, to produce an online course for Christian grandparents and grandparent-figures. We hope to launch it mid-late April.
The course will comprise six sessions, which you can complete on your own or with others. If you are completing the course with others, there are discussion questions embedded which you can use in your group. The aim of this course is to equip and empower Christian grandparents and grandparent-figures to share God with the children they love most.
Alongside this, there will be a single session course for church leaders or representatives who are interested in equipping grandparents and grandparent-figures in their churches.
If you’d like to receive an update email once the course is available online, you can register here.
Or email sarah.holmes@cym.ac.uk for more info.
