Growing Families Educational Services (GFES)

With 35 years of ministry experience, Growing Families Educational Services (formerly Christian Family Heritage) continues to offer parenting resources that helps instill and perpetuate the passing on of Godly virtues and values, from one generation to the next.

We are staffed by volunteer parents who themselves have been positively impacted by this ministry and who wish to share their positive experience with others. While times have change, and social preferences evolved, the fundamental needs of children have not. The difference between the ministry today compared to three and-a-half decades ago, is the plethora of scientific information pertaining to a child’s healthy development, which confirms the foundational truths that have guided this ministry over the year. They include, infants love routine, toddlers need supervision, preschoolers love to learn, and childhood is the most precious time of life,

As a non-profit (501c3), we offer our services to any who seek guidance from a God-centered worldview. We believe all children should live in a safe world; a place of optimism and innocence; where they are exposed to all that is virtuous, good, just, noble and true. We view parenting as both a personal and social responsibility. We are multinational and represented by every race and every tier of society. The parents we minister to are different in many ways, yet knitted together by a common cause and inspired by a shared conviction of raising children who:

• are conversant with a virtue-based civility,
• believe in the preciousness of others as much as the preciousness of self,
• move into young adulthood with a sense of purpose for their life.

Looking for guidance in achieving these noble outcomes is how thousands of parents found their way to this ministry. What we have we freely share.

Growing Families Educational Services provides a variety of resources, primarily through our Contact Mom ministry. GFES utilizes parenting concepts that we know complement our parenting philosophy, such as GrowingFamilies.Life.
