Overview

Whether you’re a first-time parent of a newborn or a seasoned pro with teens, the ongoing challenge of parenting only seems to increase with time. With resources for parents diminishing as children grow older, Parenting at IBC is committed to providing resources and training for parents every step of the way.

Some key thoughts on Parenting at IBC

• Parenting at IBC is designed with parents of all ages in mind, so whether you’re the parent of a six month old or a 16 year old, we’re thinking through how to best connect and encourage you.
• We are working hard to make sure each gathering is planned and implemented with a high level of excellence.  No one has extra time.  We want you to walk away from each gathering encouraged and equipped.
• Parenting at IBC is not just for you.  Each of us have relationships with other families who need encouragement in this area.  Sure, we’re going to be presenting content that is Christ based but we believe that each Parenting at IBC event will provide great encouragement for all parents, even those who don’t know Jesus yet.
