Whitefield PACK Parenting
"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."
Colossians 2:8
Dear Parents,
PACK Parenting (Parents Attaining Community and Knowledge) is a program that offers Whitefield parents an opportunity to gather together in parenting sessions that are led by subject matter experts as well as small group settings where we can learn from each other and build bonds in the community while discussing parenting strategies. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another." With this charge in mind, PACK Parenting will offer various opportunities for you to connect with parents in all grades. Our Evenings of Fellowship dinners, Parent to Parent small group studies and discussions, and Speaker Series will allow you to participate in sessions alongside parents in all grades, learning from experts and parents just like you.
PACK Parenting is a resource offered in alignment with our mission “to bolster Christian families in rearing young people who go on to college and life with a passion for learning, for others ahead of self, and for the living and active Jesus.” Our prayer is that you will feel more equipped to help your children navigate through these critical years in their education. We consider it a privilege to share this parenting journey with you.
Here to serve,
The PACK Parenting Team

Parent Fellowship Events
Evenings of Fellowship
Whitefield parents gather in small groups for food and fellowship in family homes. These dinners are adult-only, potluck gatherings focused on building community, hearing stories about how lives have been transformed, and deepening relationships in our shared journey within the Whitefield community. No agenda, just fellowship!
Signups will open individually or as a couple, and you will be grouped with parents who have children of all ages. If you have any questions, please call or email Denise Marshall at 314-740-6404 or denisemarshall96@gmail.com.
