The Certificate
in Parenthood
Why Is Certification so Important?
Getting certified as a proud parent of your child is not being licensed to be a parent, and it’s certainly not a degree program.
It is a response to 2 Timothy 2:15, in recognition and acknowledgement of parents as the Primary Ministers of God to the child he brings into the world.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Your Competency is a Premium to You!
In the idea that a positive relationship exists between parents’ competency in Christian formation and the effectiveness of their parenting, to positively affect the child’s success in managing their Christian life, the Dr. Mills’ Parents’ Competencies Matrix provides you the wisdom to invest in a set of professional classes designed for aligning your parenting with God’s mission, objectives, and vision concerning your child’s life in Christ.
