CHILD DEDICATIONS

On September 28 and 29, The Journey Tower Grove will hold child dedications during weekend services.

Child Dedication is a special time for parents and guardians to publicly announce their intention to raise their child(ren) in a way that teaches about God and honors Him.

The Journey recognizes that parents are responsible to raise the next generation to know the greatness of God. We dedicate our kids because we want to partner with our church family–making a commitment to raise our children in light of God’s promises. The Journey commits to support parents as they raise the next generation to love God.

GROW CONFERENCE

GROW is a parenting conference that is focused on the science of relationships, child development, and strengthening the parent-child relationship. Attendees will be led through a series of discussion topics in order to construct an understanding of the role of a parent/caregiver in the flourishing of their family, as well as the role of the family in the flourishing of God's kingdom in our communities.
