iParentnow, Christian Parenting and Family Ministry
iParentnow, Inc., is a 501 (c) 3, nonprofit dedicated to helping parents and churches prepare the next generation for life change. The iParentnow ministry, publications and website were birthed from my journey as a parent, pastor, student of biblical theology, husband and son. Through the years, my wife and I traversed the gap many families feel between their spiritual values and those of our society. Together, our purpose is to pass our lessons learned and acquired knowledge on to you. We also want to invite others to join us in supporting the next generation of parents.
Simply stated, iParent is a resource for you and your church. We offer Christian parenting advice and guidance for parents of teens suffering from chemical addictions, sexually issues and spiritual struggles. For parents of children under the age of twelve view our articles on discipline, conflict management and teaching children spiritual life lessons. Ministers, church leaders and children’s pastors will find an array of theoretical and practical information about family ministries.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
