YOUTH MINISTRY
PARENTS ENGAGEMENT SURVEY
Dear Parents of Youths and Teenagers,
Parenting youths is indeed a fulfilling and yet challenging part of family life! On many occasions, we wished we knew what to do or desired support on this journey.
We are a group of parents whose children are in the FORT Youth Ministry. We can identify with and understand this demanding parenting responsibility! Our children, the youths, deserve all our effort in nurturing them because their lives are valuable!
We are currently exploring how to offer support to fellow AMKMC parents. As a church, we recognise that today’s youths face many grey and complex areas in their growing up years. As parents in a community of faith, we need to support each other as we navigate through life with our youths!
As a start, we would like to discover your needs and concerns as parents. Please do share them with us, through this survey.
You can access the survey through this link: https://tinyurl.com/parentsurveyamkmc
Or scan this QR code:
The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete! We will be placing this announcement in the bulletin until January 2019 to give you more time to reflect on your needs and concerns. So please share with us your heartfelt thoughts and we can explore exciting parenting pathways ahead together!
If you have any feedback or enquiries, please email PTM Gerald Boon at [email protected]
