The leadership team at Paradigm is fully committed to partnering with parents. We fully understand that you, the parent, are the single greatest influence on your student and we simply desire to reinforce what we hope and believe is already taking place in your home.
Our desire is to best resource and equip you to be the spiritual example for your child.
Please look over the rest of the website and discover that we have all our sermons available via podcast with downloadable sermon notes. You will also find information about our small group ministry, Lifegroups. You will see an events section that has a downloadable monthly calendar, event specific information and even downloadable registration forms. From the home page you can add yourself to our email distribution list to get a weekly reminder of upcoming teachings and events. All of these resources are available to you so that you can best know what we are communicating and encouraging your students to get involved in.
In addition to knowing about Paradigm and all it has taking place we also want to extend to you an invitation for you to be a part of the various ministry functions and teams of Paradigm. Below you will find a listing of the different opportunities we have available and we are always open to other ideas as well. Please prayerfully look them over and let us know if there is a ministry team that you would like to get involved in.
