Father's Day

This Father's Day, we welcomed four men from our congregation to share on different phases of fatherhood: caregiver (birth to age 5), cop (ages 6-11), coach (ages 12-18), and consultant (age 19+). In the caregiver phase, fathers provide for basic needs and first experiences, reflecting God's provision. As cops, they establish boundaries and shape hearts through loving discipline. The coach phase involves offering guidance from the sidelines while allowing children to learn through experience. Finally, as consultants to adult children, fathers offer wisdom by invitation only, maintaining influence through prayer and godly counsel. Throughout all phases, effective fatherhood balances correction with connection and depends on God's wisdom. Pastor Dell closed the service by calling all of the fathers in the congregation up to pray over them.
