Parent Workshop: Connecting with Your Teen
Friday, August 14, 2026, 7PM - 9PM
Speaker: Samuel Thomsic, Senior Pastor, Jericho Road Church
Navigating the teen and preteen years can be challenging. This is a huge transitional time in a child’s development that often impacts family dynamics. How do we connect as our kids are changing, or when they seem to be pulling away? What does discipline look like? How do we help them explore their faith and make it their own? Whether you are a parent of a teen or going to be one, you will benefit from the wisdom our speaker brings as a pastor, educator, and parent of a diverse family as he addresses these questions and more.

Family Ministry Volunteers Needed

Mosaic Ministry
Mosaic Ministry was created to support families and children in our church with special needs. Our heart is to create a safe, welcoming and loving environment for children with special needs and to take intentional steps to equip our teachers and support families along the way.
If your child would benefit from support through the Mosaic Ministry, please fill out the questionnaire below so we can know how to best support and love your child.
For anyone who is interested in serving in the Mosaic Ministry, we are looking for volunteers. There are two key ways to get involved:
Buddies: Volunteers who can serve as one-on-one classroom “Buddies” to help support and care for children during Sunday School programs. No prior experience is necessary—just a heart to serve.
Professional Support: If you have a background in education, therapy, healthcare, or related fields and would be willing to offer guidance or occasional support, we would love to connect with you as well.
If you have any questions or want to hear more about this ministry, you can reach out to Misaki Tateishi and Janene Fukuda at GVBCMosaicMinistry@gmail.com.
