Faith and whānau

Cath McVey gets to talk about her two favourite things: children and mission! With experience in teaching, ministry and raising a family in Aotearoa, she shares how to support families in faith formation and develop rhythms of discipleship in the home. Enjoy a balanced perspective from someone who's done the hard yards.

Discipleship at home

Get hands-on tips on nurturing a culture of discipleship at home and how to develop healthy rhythms with realistic expectations. You'll also learn about what God says about family, and how the Church can be involved in coming alongside whānau in practical ways.
