Parents
When it comes to families, we acknowledge that parents are the primary spiritual leaders of their children and we want to do everything possible to help them thrive in that role. In recent times the Church may have overstepped its bounds by trying to be the primary spiritual leaders for children and students. The problem is it hasn’t worked.
Experts around the country are tracking the number of college-aged students who grew up attending church, yet are walking away from their faith after high school. The estimate is between 70 and 80 percent. That is staggering. We believe that percentage can change for the better and the answer is found in the Church and the family partnering together.
CCC might have 40 hours each year with the average child or student while parents will have about 3000 hours. Knowing that parents will have much more time with their kids we want to leverage the time we do have to make the parent’s time as effective as possible. We created a resource called Blueprint to help communicate our plan for children from the time they’re born until they graduate high school.
