Perseverance for Fathers of Young Kids
Welcome to our Bible study grounded in Galatians 6:9, specifically designed for fathers of young kids. Fatherhood is a rewarding but challenging journey, requiring great dedication, love, and perseverance. In this study, we seek to grow in our role as fathers while exploring the joys and struggles of raising young children.

About this Plan
No one can claim to be an expert dad, but we believe the Bible speaks about and equips us for the role of effective fathering. We have also been given the gift of the Christian community (the Church) to build each other up.
