Who is it for?
Single parents and their kids

What is its purpose?
To provide healthy ways for parents and kids to heal from their emotional pain and to build stronger single parent families

What is it?
A practical, 10-week course that is curriculum based. Our goal is to help single parents and their kids deal with the confusion and grief caused by:

  • the separation or divorce of the parents
  • the death of a parent
  • an absent parent

One Parent + Kids is a true sanctuary where single parent families can be genuinely real and honest with others, with themselves and with God on their journey to healing. Kids engage in fun, biblically-based, craft-oriented lessons and meet in small groups with caring adult mentors. Parents meet with experienced mentors who provide them with the skills necessary to move their families forward to stability and emotional health. Both parents and kids will find a new sense of God’s love, redemption, peace and healing as members of God’s family.

When is it?
Wednesday September 8th will launch the next semester of One Parent + Kids. Whether you are a single parent affected by the pain of divorce or an absent parent, or just looking to build healthy communication in your single parent family…we want you! This is open to new families, or families that have previously attended this program.

What does it cost?:
There is a minimal fee for this 10 week program that includes curriculum and dinner each week. Dinner is held in the Commons each week from 5-6:30pm, and the program is from 6:45-8:15pm. You can stop by the single parent kiosk in Town Square for more information, or register online at singleparents.irvingbible.org

Volunteers are also needed to help in many ways, for example: being a prayer angel, mentoring others, and hospitality. You do not need to be from a single parent family or have any experience. We just need people with a loving heart to minister to others. We will hold a training on Wednesday September 1st from 5-8:30pm.

Don’t handle being a single parent, separation, or divorce by yourself. Let others who have walked the same path help and encourage you.
