Family Experiences
As much as we love our time with students and see it as a calling to give our time to this, we ultimately believe that families are the true spiritual guides for students. The bible speaks very clearly that parents are to be the biggest influences in a students spiritual life. Because of that we provide what we call Family Experiences. These experiences are ways that you can engage your student spiritually and often are connected to what we are teaching at either the Buzz or the Mix. In order to receive these sign up for our weekly emails.
