Parenting is one of, if not the biggest challenge anyone could take on…
At the Quay we want to partner with families to help disciple our children and young people and help them to be excited about who Jesus is, and what Has done for us.

Parenting. Paul Tripp
14 two minute videos: What is your calling as a parent?
In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carshare schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything "right" and raise up "good" children. It's easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.
Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God's plan for us as parents. Outlining fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God-grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.
Freed from the burden of trying to manufacture life-change in our children's hearts, we can embrace a grand perspective of parenting overflowing with vision, purpose, and joy.

For The Family
Take ten minutes with your family each day to prepare for Easter.
This flexible, easy-to-use Lent devotional will allow both adults and children to celebrate the limitless wonder of Easter. Walk through Luke’s Gospel and the Old Testament to discover why the story of Jesus' death and resurrection is the most amazing story ever told.
This is a discussion-based resource with differentiated questions for 3-4s, 5-7s, 7-12s, teens and adults! At just 10 minutes each, these devotions are an achievable joy, not an unrealistic burden.
There are five devotions for each week. If you can't get to it every day, that's alright. Stuff happens. We hope that if you miss one you can pick it up again easily. You might discover that five a week is an unrealistic target—if so, some studies have been marked as KEY to help you choose which ones to pick.

For Youth
Chris Morphew is an author, teacher and school Chaplin living in Sydney, Australia. His books are fantastic at explaining complicated and difficult questions in a clear and relevant way. We’ve used some of these with the young people at the Quay in the past and would recommend for anyone, but particularly teenagers who want to engage with some of these tough questions.
