Impact Small Groups are a new and innovative way to equip families to have faith-filled conversations at home. In these short small group experiences, kids and parents come together in a fun, faith-filled environment to explore what the Bible says about relevant topics. By engaging parents and kids in faith conversations at church, they become more comfortable talking about faith at home. Even parents who are new to faith, are able to see how they can begin to lead their kids spiritually at home! Interested in learning more?
