Family Resources

Within every household, the idea of ‘normal’ holds immense significance. Over time, moments accumulate, shaping into habits, memories, and traditions. Our routines define us, while our habits narrate the story and culture of our families.

The books listed below are ones that were used to help put together the Healthy Home series as well as others our pastors have recommended to help you and your family walk closer with Christ.
