Parenting Conference


  • The Village Church Columbus 415 Thurman Ave Columbus, OH 43206 (map)

The Village Church is excited to offer our first ever Parenting Conference on January 27-28, 2023.  Parenting is one of the greatest calls that God has placed on us.  While this call is great, and often times difficult, God has graciously given us clear instructions and principles that are meant to guide the parenting of our children.  At this year's conference we will look at these instructions and principles to lay a Biblical foundation of our call and the means we are to use to parent Biblically. 

We will be using Tedd Tripp's Shepherding A Child's Heart book, study guide and videos to guide our teachings and conversations.  We will have several breakout times for discussion as well as times for questions & answers.

This conference is designed for all parents who long for a strong understanding of Biblical parenting and a healthy context to discuss the joys and struggles of God's call to parents.  If you are not yet a parent, but long to learn you are also welcome to attend.

The conference is free!  All attendees will receive a copy of Tedd Tripp's book & study guide (1 set per couple). 

We are encouraging all parents to arrange childcare outside of the church for this conference is possible.  We understand that not all will be able to do this, so the church will provide childcare in our children's rooms during the event.  If you need this option you must RSVP for your children.
