TRAINING EVENTS
As a church who prioritises our calling to EQUIP the followers of Jesus, we aim to offer training and enrichment opportunities for our families. Though no training events are planned for the remainder of 2021, scroll down to discover some of the courses we have offered in the past (and are hoping to revisit!). If you would like to know more about equipping opportunities at ASBC or are passionate about a great resource that you would like to let us know about, please contact the church office.
The Tech-Wise Family: Training Series
What does it look like to create a home where kids, parents and technology can live in harmony?
"Tech-wise parenting isn't simply intended to eliminate technology but put better things in its place." - Amy Crouch (16yo daughter of Andy Crouch)
It used to be as simple as putting the computer in the lounge room...but it's no longer that simple. This training series is for parents who want to learn how to navigate the rapid integration and rise of technology in the home, with sessions that draw from the insights of Andy Crouch and the Barna research group. The series includes teaching sessions, group processing, Q&A and engagement activities.
Parenting Beyond Your Capacity: Day Course
What if you could have more influence in the life of your child than you ever dreamed possible?
Attempts to help people become better parents usually take two forms: 1. Support - "Don't worry, you are not in this alone..." or 2. Structure - "If you follow these steps, your kids will succeed..."
But there is a kind of parenting that informs both of these: Strategic. This intensive training event is for parents who want to learn how to parent beyond their capacity, with sessions that draw from the insights of Reggie Joiner and Carey Nieuwhof (of The Rethink Group). The day includes teaching sessions, processing time, Q&A and family engagement activities.
This event also includes lunch, morning and afternoon tea, and an on-site, incredibly fun child-minding program so that both parents can attend together!
