Help your church’s grandparents take their next faithful step

Grandparents have a meaningful part in helping the next generation know and follow Jesus. Invite those in your church to explore that calling together through Grandparenting Matters.

Written and presented by Larry Fowler, founder of Legacy Coalition, this video seminar brings Biblical teaching and practical encouragement to intentional Christian grandparenting. Gather a small group, make room for honest conversation, and help grandparents consider how they can pray, connect, and share their faith with their grandchildren.

Learn together. Encourage one another.

The teaching sessions include practical demonstrations and discussion breaks so grandparents can reflect, share experiences, and learn from one another. Allow time to listen, pray together, and identify a simple next step to put into practice between meetings.

Every family’s story is different. Whether grandparents enjoy close relationships or face distance and difficult circumstances, welcome them with compassion and encourage faithfulness rather than pressure to produce results.

Prepare your group: one workbook per participant

Please purchase a Grandparenting Matters Workbook for each member of your small group. This is the participant handbook that accompanies the seminar.

Workbooks are purchased separately and are not included with complimentary streaming access. Order your group’s copies before your first meeting so everyone is ready to participate.

Tell us what God is doing in your church

We would love to hear how your grandparents respond to Grandparenting Matters. Your honest feedback, including what was helpful and what could be clearer, helps us serve churches and grandparents with care.

• What teaching or conversation helped grandparents see their role in a new way?
• What changes have you noticed in their prayers, relationships, or steps to share their faith with grandchildren?

When we contact you about continued access, please share your group’s reflections and any stories of God’s faithfulness you would like us to hear. Small steps matter, too. Please leave out private family details and share another person’s story only with their permission.
