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.
- 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.
- Submit the application and $40 application fee along with the signed
Statement of Faith. When approved, you will receive a confirmation number.
- Determine what your group will look like by answering a few
questions.
- 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.
