Christian Grandparenting Groups

Christian Grandparenting Groups are communities of grandparents where learning, support, wisdom, and faith converge.

These groups are comprised of grandparents who want to learn about their biblical role, share a commitment to pass on their Christian beliefs, nurture their relationship with children and grandchildren, and support each other in their journeys.

<1%

of 30 Million Christian Grandparents Have Received Biblical Training
Of all professing Christian grandparents in North America, fewer than one in a hundred report receiving any training from the Bible in the God-given ministry of grandparenting. Christian Grandparenting Groups exist to change that.

Christian Grandparenting Groups are often utilized to introduce grandparents to the key biblical principles about grandparenting, used to help a church launch a grandparenting ministry, are a practical way for grandparents to care for one another, and are a sustainable program to help grandparents intentionally influence their family for Christ. Whether meeting in churches, homes, or community centers, the essence of these groups is rooted in fellowship, discipleship, prayer, and purposeful mentoring.

“Only take heed to yourself and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen… And teach them to your children and grandchildren.” Deuteronomy 4:9

The primary goal of a Christian Grandparenting Group is to encourage and equip grandparents in their influential role within the family. Participants gather to discuss biblical principles that apply to grandparenting, pray for their grandchildren, and explore ways to model Christ-like living. The Christian Grandparenting Group vision centers on helping grandparents capture a biblical vision for their God-given role as grandparents, to become intentional disciple-makers who pass on a legacy of faith in Christ, and help their children and grandchildren develop a biblical worldview. Christian Grandparenting Groups encourage grandparents to become intentional spiritual mentors, foster faith conversations, leave a legacy of love and devotion to Christ, and fulfill their mandated role as Christian grandparents.

Why start a Christian Grandparenting Group?

Nearly all grandparents love being grandparents. They are highly motivated to interact with their grandchildren, but would benefit from a community of grandparents to support, equip, and encourage one another to be intentional Christian grandparents.

Yet, of the 30 million professing Christian grandparents in North America, less than 1% report receiving any training from the Bible in the God-given ministry of grandparenting. Many Christian grandparents have unintentionally adopted our culture’s emphasis of the role of grandparents being primarily in the realm of providing “fun and funds.”

Churches with Christian Grandparenting Groups find the benefit of having the older generation continuing to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. This results in stronger multi-generational families and increased organic ministry happening outside traditional church programs.

A Christian Grandparenting Group can be led by a single couple, requires limited staff hours, and is not an additional time burden placed on church leadership. If a church offers small groups, a Christian Grandparenting Group can be added to the existing small group offerings. A Christian Grandparenting Group is an affordable, effective, and an incredible option for every church.
