Parenting Infants
My wife and I cannot recommend Pastor Plumley’s Parenting Infants course highly enough! We both grew up in the Church, but without a systematic study of God’s design for parenting as revealed through Scripture. We discovered that we were unwittingly adopting a lot of worldly philosophies, which would have made parenting our precious baby boy much more difficult and potentially disastrous in the long run. We are grateful that God provided this course for us well before we were even expecting so that we had a clear idea of what direction to lead our little one in from the very beginning, all the while trusting in the Lord’s grace to sustain us.

About Pastor and Mrs. Plumley
These classes are based on over 30 years of studying, applying, and teaching biblical principles of parenting to hundreds of people in several churches. Pastor Alan and Carol have four adult children who reinforced for them first-hand the wisdom of God’s design for the family. These two courses embody both what they were privileged to learn that helped them to avoid common pitfalls, and also important lessons that they wish they had learned beforehand.
