Welcome!
Have you gotten any sleep recently?
As the parent of an infant or toddler we know where you are. Life is hectic and crazy and at times even overwhelming. Sometimes our goals go out the window as we change diapers...and try to steal a few minutes of sleep each night. Our hope at Hope Lutheran is to equip you as a parent of a very young child to help them to grow up to be a faithful adult. If you haven't started faith based routine with your family, now is a great time to do so!
How do you faithfully parent your infants and toddlers?
There are many ways to help the youngest member of your family grow in faith! In fact, it is crucial to start doing faith formation activities with your child today.
All research points to the idea that most of a child's faith formation happens at home. Likewise starting early as your young child is developing will create live-long habits that will go with your child throughout his or her life.
On this site you will find three types of opportunities to help you with the task of faith formation!
