This page is to help equip you, our parents, with the items that will be required for your student to participate in our programs. We believe that partnering up with our parents is the ONLY way to truly help a teen in their quest towards God. Believing this, we will be putting together some resources and help answer some questions about students today that you may have. Please be patient as we put this together.

Some Helpful Websites For Parents:
www.pluggedinonline.com - This is a site that contains Christ Centered Movie, Music and Video Game Reviews. If you need to keep up with anything your student is wanting to listen to, watch or play, this is the site for you!
www.ccgr.org - This is a site that contains Christ Centered Game Reviews. If your student wants to purchase or play a certain game, check here first and see if it fits with-in your standards.
www.comingsoon.net (Not a Christian Site) - This site dedicated to reviewing and locating the "Next BIG Thing". Go here to keep up with what your teens will be exposed to over the next few months.
www.group.com - This is a sight where you can purchase christian recourses from books to software. You could call Group products “ministry resources.” Or tools… references…solutions…essentials…life savers…or, if you stack a few together, a booster seat. But what they all have in common is this: they include life-changing ideas that work.
www.kidsinmind.com (Not a Christian Site) - This is a site that reviews and rates the content on all movies. You can go to this site and see if this movie will be ok for you or your child to view.
www.ministryandmedia.com - Whether we want to accept it, ignore it, or use it--the reality is that our kids are growing up under the influence of a media-saturated culture. If we refuse to engage young people in biblical discussions about what they're watching and hearing, we make it easy for them to compartmentalize their faith and put it aside when they move beyond the church walls. This sight offers tools for you to start discussions with your children about the world they live in.
