Description

The timeline for some people is that they meet their spouse, get married, and prepare to have kids. (It's not everyone and we love people who are single or kids is not an option for them!). But some people find themselves about to have kids, but are at a congregation that does not have a kids program. 

Geoff and Wendy Lin from Holy Trinity in Adelaide talk about how they prepare couples for kids. Here is what they cover: 

• What people can do before they have kids to develop great habits
• How ministers can help the transition and preparing people for it 
• The importance of farewelling people from one congregation,
• Some of the changes people should expect as they change churches 
• What is different for mums or dads to change churches
• Making sure family does not become the idol
