Parenting for Purity/Authentic Love (For parents with children in the 8th grade) Parent Class: “Parenting for Purity” Teen Class: “Authentic Love” This effort will expose culture’s distorted messages about purity and love and will reveal how God has created us for a lifestyle of personal holiness. Students will examine the attributes of holiness that shape our identity. They will be challenged to reject the self-serving influences of culture and embrace what it means to live as godly young men and women who reflect the character of Christ. Parents will have a class session before their children begin the project in order to be aware of the material and make plans for their child’s pledge.
