Why Join Table Talks?
Raising children is challenging—and you don’t have to do it alone. Our goal is to walk alongside parents, providing support in and out of the classroom. Table Talks gives you the opportunity to:
-
Learn from research and experts
-
Ask questions and problem-solve with other parents
-
Build a community of support grounded in faith
-
Address parenting issues from a Christian perspective
We invite you to bring your questions, share your experiences, and connect with other parents who want the same things you do: raising children who are deeply rooted in Christ while navigating a modern world.
