Welcome!

Let me both encourage and challenge you: You are the greatest influence in your teen’s life. I offer this page as a partner in helping the youth of Oakridge KNOW God, OWN their faith and make their faith KNOWN. You will find discussion questions related to studies, monthly updates, print permission forms , get event details, and find links to resources to equip and encourage you as a parent, or to otherwise “connect”!
This page is an on-line cup of coffee between a youth pastor and his parent partners. Enjoy! [if you need an in-person cup of coffee, you can contact me directly HERE]

This month’s Discussion Questions on “VISION” [RIDGE]

> At what point would you say you really know someone?
> When does something originally passed on to you truly become yours and not shared?
> How would make someone else aware of something really important? Is there more than one way?
> How will you seek to KNOW God, OWN your faith & make your faith KNOWN this week?
