Why? What is the goal of this change?
The Church needs to take a much bigger role in making sure that our young people are discipled and nurtured in their faith – completely convinced of the truth of the gospel and equipped to go out and make more disciples.

New Curriculum
THE FOUNDATIONAL PASSAGE IN THE BIBLE FOR BIBLICAL PARENTING
LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR
STRENGTH. THESE COMMANDMENTS THAT I GIVE YOU TODAY ARE TO BE UPON YOUR HEARTS. IMPRESS THEM ON
YOUR CHILDREN. TALK ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU SIT AT HOME AND WHEN YOU WALK ALONG THE ROAD, WHEN YOU
LIE DOWN AND WHEN YOU GET UP.
D6 = Deuteronomy 6:5-7
