DISCIPLESHIP SURVEY

Please let us know where your family is at on your discipleship journey! All answers are anonymous. Do not feel pressured to give perfect or impressive answers. We want your honest responses in an aim to help us determine what direction we go with our teaching curriculum as well as navigate how to better serve our HYG families in your path of discipleship.

I have had a couple of families take us up on this attempt to spend some intentional time having faith conversations with their family.  It has been a cool thing for them. If you have any interest, email me at [email protected] for the details and we can get you started. 

This is simply helping families create some intentional moments for discipling your teenager by adjusting one thing you likely already do every week. You would commit to taking one family dinner night a week for 5-6 weeks to work through a discipleship book together. We will provide some guidance, we just need the families.
