Family Resources

At Eastview, we believe that God designed the home to be the primary place for discipleship in a child’s life. It is our privilege to come alongside you as you raise your child in the ways of the Lord. We offer this Family Ministry Map as a guide to help you raise your child one step at a time — with one annual focus each year. This certainly isn’t the only parenting plan you could follow, but over the 18 years of your child’s life, you will have followed a fairly comprehensive plan to raise your child in the faith.

These booklets are not intended to cover all there is to know about each topic. Sometimes parents feel overwhelmed with the responsibility of raising their child to know the Lord, and aren’t sure where to start. So we have created simple steps to get you started. We also include recommended resources to help you in your parenting journey.

If you have any questions about your booklet, stop by the Family Resource Center or email our Family Pastor, Jason Smith at jsmith@eastview.church.

AGE-SPECIFIC PARENTING PLANS

We have parenting plans available to help you raise your kids with a step-by-step plan for each year of their life. Register your family and each year on your child’s birthday, you will receive a packet that will help focus on one particular area of spiritual formation in your child’s life for that year. Sign up to receive your Annual Parenting Plan by texting #parentplan to 309-808-6002 and each year we’ll send you your next plan. Plans are also available as a hard copy at the Family Resource Center or downloadable files below.
