Parent Learning Group | Rooftop Church

Mondays, Oct. 5 – Nov. 23 | 6:30–8 pm
Rooftop Church | Childcare Provided

Talking to our kids about sex, gender, their bodies, relationships, and everything they encounter in our culture can feel overwhelming. What should we say? When should we say it? And how can we create a relationship where our kids feel safe coming to us with their questions?

This fall, Rooftots is inviting parents to learn together through "Christian Sexuality: Raising Kids," an eight-week, video-based study designed to equip parents of children 12 and under to have these conversations with biblical wisdom, grace, and confidence.

Jessica Delmez, Rooftot's children's director, and other leaders on the ministry team will guide this learning group.

Rather than relying on one big, awkward “talk,” the course encourages parents to make these topics part of an ongoing conversation with their kids. Each Monday, we’ll watch teaching from the course, talk through what we’re learning, ask questions, and discuss practical ways to disciple our kids as they grow.

You don’t have to have all the answers. Come learn alongside other Rooftop parents as we work toward becoming trusted, safe voices in our kids’ lives.

Childcare is provided, so bring the kids and join us. Whether your children are preschoolers or approaching the teen years, now is a great time to build the trust and habits that can keep these important conversations going for years to come.
