Good News: You Don't Have To Be an Expert to Start an Effective Parenting Support Group

You can start an Effective Parenting Support Group in your area. These groups are a great way to help parents in your church grow in their parenting, and an excellent way to reach out to hurting parents in your community. One of the greatest benefits, however, is for those who lead and organize the group. As you help others in their parenting you will grow yourself in ways that you hadn't imagined. Learn More

Here's what you need to do to start an Effective Parenting Support Group.

  1. Purchase the Effective Parenting Support Group Leader's Guide ($10.95) and receive step-by-step instructions for starting, running, and managing an Effective Parenting Support Group. Also included is a special section on "How to Help Parents Who Feel Overwhelmed." This manual also contains the application form needed when applying to become an Effective Parenting Support Group.
  2. Submit the application and $40 application fee along with the signed Statement of Faith. When approved, you will receive a confirmation number.
  3. Determine what your group will look like by answering a few questions.
  4. Choose a start date and begin publicizing using the suggestions and resources in the Effective Parenting Leader's Guide.

Also, to keep all group members on track with the discussion, get the EPSG Participant guide ($2.95), which gives suggestions for participants to know how to help solve parenting problems from a biblical perspective. The booklet also helps participants know what an EPSG is and the expectations of a participant.
