Books, music, and helps for the home.
This page grew out of the message on Deuteronomy 6 preached on July 5, 2026, in the series Discipling the Next Generation. The sermon and its notes are still here whenever you want to go back to them.
Old songs and hymns that have shaped faith in children for generations, a catechism, family devotionals, storybooks, books for parents, shows the family can sit down to, and shelves of the classics every Christian home does well to own.
Two things this church built for the home.
For the ones doing the discipling.
