Growing Kids Bradenton/Sarasota A Growing Families International Ministry Serving Manatee and Sarasota counties
|
Welcome to the Growing Kid's God's Way in the
Bradenton/Sarasota area. Our purpose is to connect a
community of parents pursuing like minded values and
biblical-based parenting. We provide new information on GFI
classes and events, as well as other resources that will connect
class leaders and like minded parents in the local Growing Kid's
God's Way community. The classes are facilitated by families who
have been blessed by the ministry. If you have been teaching or
would like to start a class please contact us so we can post the
information on the website.
About Us
The Growing Families International (GFI) National Ministry Staff
has appointed "Key Couples" in local areas to oversee GFI
ministries in the community. The role of key couples is to serve
the needs of class leaders, churches offering classes, and class
alumni. Also they will serve as a referral for parents wanting to
get into GFI parenting classes. The Bradenton/Sarasota area key
couples work under the direction of Joey and Carla Link, the GFI
National Ministry overseers.
