We believe the church and family should work together to raise the next generation of Christians. Pathway is committed to coming alongside and mentoring parents as parents mentor their children. For the church and family to work together to equip the generations, we must walk on a common path; The Legacy Path provides a step by step guide for parents to lead their children to becoming the adults God has created them to be. For more information or to purchase The Legacy Path, head to our Pathway Store at the Welcome Center each weekend.

5. Rite of Passage
The passing of a child into adulthood is a significant event. Biblically, we must equip our children to become men and women of God. Age 16 is a significant time of freedom in our culture. Parents will be equipped to disciple their freshmen and sophomore students for adulthood. Issues such as spiritual gifts, the roles of men and women, spiritual disciplines, service in the church, and dealing with failure, will be discussed.Get More Information
6. High School graduation
Between the ages of 16 and 18, parents help their students develop the practical and spiritual skills to leave home. The Legacy path equips parents to prepare their students for the world outside of the nest. This can be a very healthy time in the family journey if parents continue to keep the lines of communication open with their students.Campus Event: Senior Celebration

7. Life in Christ
John 15 sets the precedence for this amazing journey describing a fulfilling life with eternal purpose. Real life begins and grows in relationship with Jesus Christ. In that relationship, a Christ-follower grows in such areas as prayer, knowing scripture, and giving/serving throughout the journey. This path filled with highs and lows, ends in eternity with Jesus. Life in Christ is experienced by every adult believer no matter one's life stage or circumstances.Campus Event: Adult Bible Fellowship, Foundations, Worship
