Family Discipleship Overview
At Bridgetown, our goal is that every person – adult and child – would be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. But these things don’t just happen overnight; they take time, intention, and repetition. So, with this in mind, we are providing a Family Guide for each of the spiritual disciplines for you to walk through together. Since these Guides are aimed at kids of multiple ages, please skip or adapt anything that does not feel age appropriate. These Guides are written conversationally, so feel free to read through them. Italicized words are notes to parents and bolded words are questions to take some time with.
Family Guides

In our Bridgetown Church family, we are on a lifelong adventure to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what he did. Something we can participate in that combines ALL those things is reading the Bible!

Sabbath is a special day set aside each week where we get to rest and experience God’s love.

One of the ways God talks about the church is as a family. Sometimes, the Scriptures even call believers or the church the “new family of God.” And when we participate in this new family, we call that practicing Community.
-
“Generosity” is when we share things God has given us with others.

We invite your family to join the global church in anticipating the birth of Jesus together! Use this reading plan to mark a special moment each day this December, connecting our anticipation for Christmas to our longing for Jesus.
