Dwell Parenting Meetings

Dwell's monthly Parenting Meeting offers practical, Bible-based teachings on different parenting topics. You can ask questions, join in on small discussion groups, and connect with other parents. While the teachers come from a Biblical perspective, all viewpoints are welcome.

Meetings are at 9:30 am at the Dwell Main Campus Café (1394 Community Park Dr., 43229) the first Wednesday of the month. Limited childcare is provided. For more information contact fojass@dwellcc.org.
