| Most ministries have no plan to reach parent. They might do a class every now and then, but at best, training parents is an afterthought. The Parent Summit could be your first step to integrating parents into your ministry. For many of them, they will understand for the first time the weight of influence they can have with their teen and your ministry. |

The Parent Summit contains three eye-opening workshops that quickly (yet practically) move you from information to principle to action. Throughout the sessions you will get an honest bird’s-eye view into the media’s manipulative messages to teens and the distorted worldview they create. You will learn to help your teen identify these cultural landmines and see what God’s design is for life.

In our CULTURE SHOCK session you get an eye-opening look at the media, culture, and peer influences in the world of teens and how they respond to them.
It’s not enough to know your teen’s culture if you can’t talk to them about it. In the TOUCHING YOUR TEEN’S HEART session parents will learn to talk in a way their teens can receive it. Parents learn to love their teens more completely as they understand their personality, love language, learning style, decision-making process and much more.

The most exciting part of the conference is leaving with a spiritual action plan. With SPIRITUALLY MENTORING YOUR TEEN parents are equipped to have a thriving and active spiritual relationship with their teens.
Parents leave feeling like they finally have a handle on their teen’s
culture and how to engage them. This is your chance to rally parents
together and transparently talk about real issues.

"It is shocking, scary, heart breaking, and 100%
on target. If you want to have your eyes opened
to the reality of the world your students are
seeing, hearing, and living in then this conference
is for you."
Kerry Ray, Middle School Pastor
Crosspointe Church

In order to have a great event people have to show up. We work hard to create multiple connecting points between you and your audience to make sure no parent can say, “I didn’t know about it.” We will help you communicate that this is the most important event for parents in your ministry year. We do that by creating seven promotional tools for your event.
With this promotional plan, you will have the opportunity to connect with parents using every form of media except billboard. We even provide you with a promotional timetable of when to use each contact point and how to maximize your exposure with them.
