Fathers of Faith: Strong Roots
We’re excited to introduce Fathers of Faith: Strong Roots, a dynamic, faith-based initiative designed to strengthen and support fathers in their vital roles—at home, in the church, and within the school community.
Purpose of the Program
This program encourages and equips fathers to be present, purposeful, and Christ-centered leaders in their children’s lives. Through monthly gatherings and special events, dads will grow spiritually, emotionally, and practically—becoming strong role models and positive influences at home and in the classroom.
What the Program Offers
Fathers of Faith provides a meaningful mix of learning, connection, and action, including:
- Monthly Meetings with faith-based conversations on real-life fatherhood topics such as discipline, communication, legacy-building, and emotional healing.
- Interactive Bonding Events like “Dad & Scholar Days,” service projects, reading sessions, and family-style meals to create memories and meaningful connections.
- Practical Takeaways to help apply biblical wisdom in parenting and daily life.
- A Supportive Community where dads can share, pray, and grow together in a safe and encouraging environment.
Sample Monthly Topics
Each gathering is centered on a topic that speaks to the heart of fatherhood. Sample themes include:
- The Calling of a Father
- Presence Over Presents
- Building Trust Through Christ
- Discipline with Grace
- Balancing Work, Family, and Faith
- Raising Kingdom Kids
- Healing from Father Wounds
Scholar Engagement Opportunities
To deepen father-child relationships, the program offers optional on-campus and community experiences such as:
- Faith & Fun Days with games and Bible-based activities
- Fathers Who Read classroom sessions
- Dad & Me Serve community projects
- Fellowship Feasts like school picnics or breakfast gatherings
Why It Matters
Studies show that children with engaged fathers perform better academically, behave more positively, and experience greater emotional well-being. Fathers of Faith uplifts dads in their spiritual walk while also building stronger families and a more unified school community.
