Parents

Welcome to the parents page! Here at Renovate HSM (high school ministries), our desire is to see your teenager GROW into fully devoted followers of Jesus. We understand that it can be difficult and overwhelming at times to be parents of teens. We want to partner with you -- not replace you -- in this journey.

Our goal for this parents page is designed to equip you with helpful resources on parenting, youth culture, and links to other sites... all to help you navigate through these years of raising teenagers. We invite you to come back as often as you like and surf the many resources on this page. We constantly be posting new resources as we find them.

If you ever have questions, a need for more information, or just need to talk to someone, don't hesitate to contact us!
