MISSION

Lake Avenue's Parenting Ministry is here to help you parent Uniquely Better. Unique because each family is different. Our cultures are different, we come from different economic backgrounds, sometimes within the same family...but we have the same Lord who has gifted us uniquely and called us to each other. Better because at each stage of our kids' lives, we need to be better. As we, parents, become better indivudals, disciples, and parents, we are helping our kids become better and know God better.
Parenthood in itself does not make you smarter and more emotionally sophisticated with the practical skills and spiritual maturity to raise your children uniquely better than how you were parented. Emotional intelligence, spiritual maturity, mental insight and practical skills are all needed.
This ministry is here to offer you community and resources to get you to the place you need to be to be a uniquely better parent for your kids.
