"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!" (Psalm 127:3-5a, ESV)

It is true that children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord. But He doesn't just give them to us to do as we please. When God blesses us with children, He is entrusting us with a precious life that He created, loves, and died for - and He is entrusting them to us that we might teach them to know and love God. While children are a wonderful blessing, the calling to raise them in the "discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4) is not always an easy road to walk on. There are bumps, unexpected turns, and lots of potholes. But God gives us everything we need through His Word and His Spirit to persevere in the rewarding journey of parenting.

At NHBC, we want to partner with you, equipping and encouraging you as you instruct and train your children to walk with Christ. There are a variety of ways that we want to do this.
