Welcome to the Faith@Home Mom section of our website. My name is Maria Holmen and I’m a mom like you. You don’t really know what God is up to when He gives you a baby, but if you grasp the wonderment and get to a place where the faith your children develop flows from your heart to theirs, this parenting journey will be the best ride you have ever taken. Being a mom isn’t easy and when you add the faith component into the mix of things it may seem overwhelming. But you are not alone on this parenthood journey. My husband and I have committed ourselves to taking this journey with you and providing you the very best tools and resources we can find that will equip you to be the type of mom that God has called you to be. So let’s get started.

Step 2 – Read Faith Begins At Home
In this engaging book, you will learn about the importance of you and your spouse’s walk with the Lord; of using the gifts and experiences of grandparents, elders and mentors in the family; and of the role the church should play with families. Filled with a wealth of practical ideas, inspirational stories and biblical truth, Faith Begins At Home will help parents establish their home as the primary place where faith is nurtured.
