"If a community values its children, it must cherish their parents."
Dr. John Bowlby
Welcome!
We want you to feel cherished, appreciated, accepted and loved.
At the heart of Raising Our Children is our faith, with Jesus Christ as the center. Together we are so much stronger than we are alone. When we share our joys and support one another in our challenges, our whole community benefits.
Raising Our Children is a collaborative effort by parents, with parents, for parents, to help strengthen families with children of all ages. We will accomplish this through social media and community-wide events including speakers, workshops, bulletin articles and book clubs.
