Faith@Home

As Christians, we recognize that nothing is more important than our life in Christ. Matthew 28 reminds us that, as we embark on a life-transforming journey of faith, we have a responsibility to not only be a disciple of Christ, but also to disciple others. While the church functions as an avenue of resourcing, encouragement and support, what happens in the home has the greatest impact in our lives. Deuteronomy 6, Psalm 78 and Ephesians 6 compel parents to give the spiritual training of their children the highest priority, recognizing that they are the primary spiritual equippers of their children.

At CFA, we are intentional about growing in our faith and raising up a generation of spiritual champions through intentional spiritual parenting and family discipleship. We desire and aim for families to be well anchored in Christ and to be actively living a life filled with spiritual freedom and victory. We recognize that parents are the primary spiritual educators of their children and that the church provides resources, support and a partnership with families through this journey. We have outlined and identified 5 key spiritual milestones that capture this spiritual formation process. What does walking on this Milestone journey look like? It involves intentional ‘Faith Talks’ and, as a church, we are committed to offering a variety of resources and training opportunities to assist in this area. It involves capturing ‘God Sightings’, recognizing the hand of God within our everyday lives. As well, it includes celebrating these Milestones, both as individual families and corporately as a church.

High school graduation  - Life in Christ

Parents and their grad will attend a meeting to prepare for the CFA Graduation Celebration here at the church in June. Resources are provided to help parents write a blessing for their graduate and help grads write their personal declaration, communicating their values and priorities in life which will be incorporated into our CFA Graduation Celebration event.

Milestone Overview

 Please note that some Milestones can be age specific and not in order of spiritual maturity. When involving children, parents will have training and interview/meeting with the Family and Children’s Pastor to help parents take the lead in preparing and equipping their children through the Faith@home process.

Milestone 3

Milestone 3

Preparing For Adolescence - Identity in Christ

Adolescence can be an exciting and scary time for both parents and kids. Children begin to learn more about who they are and what they like and dislike and express them more openly. These years can often be a roller-coaster ride for the family.



Milestone 4

Holiness & Intimacy with Christ

We live in a culture immersed in self-discovery and pervasive, untethered pursuit of intimacy, yet many people feel increasingly disconnected and anxious. Since God is Love, we, as followers of Christ, have unending access to Love if we respond to the invitation to seek and know Him. If we do, we can remain truly anchored amid the shifting tides and waves of the culture. 

Milestone 4 is a teaching series designed to encourage and equip parents and young teens to abide in Christ. It addresses the deep longing of the human spirit for intimacy with the Lord - calling us to seek Him, remain in Him, and be saturated by His constant presence. It is through this relationship that we can rightly understand healthy relationships with other, including the purpose of sexuality and marriage.
