FAMILY DISCIPLESHIP
Cobblestone is committed to discipling families. In recognition of the Biblical command for parents to disciple their children, we offer childcare and Family Ministry for children and their parents based on the ages of the children and needs of the family. We are here to assist parents in their God-given role by providing resources, examples, and support for discipling their own children.

For Families on Sunday
We offers the following specialized programs for families:
Parents can check children in prior to service in the West Wing for either of these programs.
Family Ministry - A discipleship initiative for children ages 4 through 12 and their parents. Family Ministry is designed to support and undergird the discipleship that naturally happens at home in families with younger children. Children may attend Family Ministry during service* on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays of the month, while parents serve on a rotating basis once a month. The first (and fifth when applicable) Sunday of each month is a dedicated Family Worship service where families worship together in the sanctuary for the duration of service.
Childcare
- We know that raising littles can be an all-consuming job. To be of
service to families with our youngest members, we offer childcare for
children ages 0-3 during service* every Sunday.
*2nd service during seasons when two services are scheduled.
Family Ministry FAQs
Family Ministry takes place every 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays.
Since the Biblical mandate for discipling children is on parents, children and families are better served if we use our limited time on Sunday to support and equip parents in doing the work.
We have created the program to be a simple template you can follow at home to “bring [your children] up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4) PLUS, it's an opportunity to connect with other Christian parents you can "run" with!
God designed children to learn about Him and grow in Him in families comprised of all ages.
Remember, this is how God designed families to learn! Each child learns something different at the same time.
Yes! Especially if you talk about it together!

Absolutely!
A resounding YES! But you have to make TIME for it!
