One Groups ::: Family
Parents & Grandparents One Group Resources
Family Series ::: One Groups
In October and November, our church will walk through a series of teachings themed around what it means to be a church that follows Jesus in our families.
For Grandparents, we’re starting a brand new One Group focused on this important life-stage!
For existing One Groups with parents, we’re offering a short-term video study (instead of our regular One Group guides) based on the excellent book by Andy and Sandra Stanley called Parenting: Getting it Right (Kurt highly recommends this book!).
Scroll Down for both!
Grandparents One Group
Grandparents matter.
Kids need grandparents who model the self-offering love of Jesus. Grandparents need to know that they aren’t alone in the journey.
Brentview’s new One Group for grandparents (specifically focusing on grandparents with grandkids still at home, etc.) will be an ongoing One Group which will occasionally walk through Grandparent-specific studies.
During other times of the year, they will follow along with the sermon series guides with the rest of our One Groups.
This One Group will begin meeting (a bit later than others that start in Sept.) on Tuesday October 17, 2023. Like other One Groups it will take some time off during the holidays and will reconvene in January.
About the curriculum for the first short-term study….

Parenting Study for Brentview One Groups
Am I doing this right?
This is a question every parent asks themselves at some point—or at multiple points—along the way.
You want to get it right. Andy and Sandra Stanley are here to help.
As parents of three grown children, and as leaders of a local church, they bring wisdom and experience to the topic of faith and parenting. Together they have spent decades counselling families and mentoring moms and dads while leaning into mentors of their own.
In the six-session video study Parenting: Getting It Right, Andy and Sandra combine their experience and wisdom to help viewers identify and embrace their it—their win as parents. In an inviting and conversational approach that is both informative and accessible, the Stanleys discuss:
The four stages of parenting
How to parent with the end in mind
An approach to discipline that strengthens relationships
How to help your child develop a faith of their own
You don’t have to constantly wonder whether you’re getting it right as a parent. Start here and feel confident about raising children who will enjoy being together and with you even when they no longer have to be.
