Kids are receiving mixed messages about sex.

Parents often remain silent, leaving teaching about sexuality up to the church or the schools. Unfortunately, the church can sometimes imply that sex in any context is wrong or dirty: just don’t do it. School and culture go overboard in another direction, giving permission, pressure and information on “how to” become sexually active.

Caught in the middle, kids need better support and more biblically-grounded information!

 “The decisions that kids make about their sexuality play a factor in their future relationships,” says Dr. Jim Burns.

Moreover, the statistics Dr. Burns will provide are sobering: 6 out of 10 kids have sexual intercourse by age 18; 1 of 3 young women is sexually abused, 1 of 5 young men; 70% of teenage suicides stem from broken relationships.

Invite parents, student ministry leaders and small group leaders to join CCN for this critical program, and learn how to encourage healthy, value-centered sex education in the home and the church.

You’ll hear:

• Christian and secular perspectives on the sexuality crisis.
• How and when to talk to kids about sex.
• What the Bible has to say about sex.
• How to embrace mistakes with grace.

Make sure that your kids are getting the right message.
