SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
"The next level integration is the entire family is on the same page, and what I want to point out is something that is pretty obvious, and that is many, many people who are coming to churches are coming to buildings is because they have children. They are very driven by their children, and they want their children to have a biblical foundation, a moral foundation, and we know that if we can connect a conversation with the parent, with our children's ministry, and with the overall church, then it's super effective."
—Randy Frazee
