Half-Day Parenting Conference

Located at Vriesland Church | 6839 Byron Road, Zeeland, MI


Parenting is hard and so often we feel like we're just surviving. These struggles are not evidence of failure, they're a sign that we need more support as parents!


Parenting with Purpose is designed to give families support so they can create thriving families. We'll explore the importance and power of being connected to ourselves, our children, our village, and, most importantly, to God as we parent, all while learning practical tools you can implement right away. The hope is for you to leave this half-day conference refreshed, reminded of the importance of parenting with God at the center, and energized to make the necessary steps to create and maintain health in your household.


Childcare will be available for children 2 years old - 5th grade for $10/child.
