APPLE CREEK, OHIO
Family Discipleship Conference – Hosted by Fairlawn Mennonite Church
Conference Purpose and Vision:
We launched this conference two years ago because of the responsibility we felt to better equip our parents to disciple their children. We believe that healthy families are the foundation of healthy churches and societies and if a family is going to be healthy, parents must embrace their God-given responsibility as the primary disciplers of their children. The aim of this conference is to: 1) Bring the Word of God to bear upon the lives of parents so that they will be convinced of their responsibility, 2) Practically equip parents with the information and resources needed to pass their faith on to their children.
