Are you looking for a solid resource to equip parents to disciple their kids at home?
Mark Holmen’s book, IMPRESS Faith on Your Kids (releases April 2011) will motivate parents to become active in the spiritual development of their kids as well as teach them “how” to engage with their children and teens at home.

This brief read will mobilize dads and moms into action based on the practical, biblical insight of Deuteronomy 6:7.

Faith@Home Resolution
January 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I was blessed this past summer with the opportunity to meet with the Sr. Pastor and staff from the Crosslake, Evangelical Free Log Church in Crosslake, MN. Crosslake is a small resort community where we spend our summer as a family because my mom also lives there. The Log Church is the largest evangelical church in town that worships around 300 people during the summer months.
On a whim, or better stated Holy Spirit prompting, I sent an e-mail to Pastor Fred Cressman who serves as the Sr. Pastor of the Crosslake Log Church telling him a little about myself, the Faith@Home movement and letting him know that I was in town for the summer and would be willing to meet with him if he was interested in doing so. To my surprise he responded relatively quickly and we set up a time to get together for breakfast. What happened next was truly a God thing as the Spirit clearly united us in both vision and passion. In the months that followed I returned to lead a seminar and preach at the Log Church and the response of the people was overwhelming. It was clear that God had prepared the leadership and people of the Log Church to be a Faith@Home focused church. Following the seminar, Pastor Fred and the leaders of Crosslake church continued to drive the Faith@Home methodology deeper into their church’s DNA and recently, I received the following e-mail from Pastor Fred:
Mark,
I wanted to share the good news with you that our Elder Board and our congregation has affirmed our Faith@Home vision through the formal adoption of a Faith@Home resolution. I have included the stated resolution in this email. In addition, we are proposing that our next step be the challenge for each of us in our church to commit to a personal covenant to make nurturing faith in our homes a priority. I have also attached that document for you to look over. We have been looking for a line in the sand kind of a commitment from our church that would say to us full steam ahead and it appears that we have that.
Attached you will find the Crosslake Evangelical Free Church’s resolution and covenant which I pray will serve to inspire and motivate you to make Faith@Home a permanent part of your church’s approach to ministry.
Well done Pastor Fred and people of the Crosslake Ev. Free church! You have not only drawn a line in the sand but you have set an example for others as to the type of commitment we should all be making to be Faith@Home focused churches and individuals!
