Marriage and Parenting

Marriage Resources

Marriage is the first institution created by God and the foundation of the family. We value marriage as the most important relationship other than your relationship with the Lord. Throughout the year, FBCF will offer workshops, events, Bible studies, and more opportunities for godly growth in your relationships.

Pre-Marital and Marital Christian Counseling

God created marriage to display His glory and to bring His creatures joy. Through this gift, we are called to consider not only God’s covenantal love but also His incredible patience and unconditional mercy toward His beloved. Because this takes effort and intentionality, we strongly encourage engaged couples to supplement their marriage preparation through formal premarital Christian counseling at least six months before their wedding.

All couples about to be married are taken through a program called FOCCUS: Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding & Study. Some topics we cover are Family of Origin, Intimacy, Religion, Spirituality, Value, Communication, Readiness Issues, Problem Solving, Parenting Issues, Friends, and Interests.

For Marital and Pre-Marital Christian Counseling, contact:
Pastor Aaron Scarborough at ascarbrough@fbcforney.org

Note: First Baptist Forney provides Christian Pastoral Counseling governed by the local church and not via a state-licensed agency.

Marriage Ministry Workshops

FBC Forney partners with Grace Marriage to offer a Marriage Ministry Workshop with multiple sessions throughout the year. Sessions are led by Pastor Aaron Scarbrough, Pastor of Adults, and are for all couples, whether married for one week or 68 years. 

Please see the registration link in the Event section below for details.

If you have questions, please email Aaron Scarbrough at ascarbrough@fbcforney.org

Parenting Resources

We desire to equip and empower parents to be the primary faith trainers of their children while building a Christ-centered home. We want to help you disciple your kids intentially and biblically through resources, workshops and events.

Hey Kids - God is Holy Booklet

Our children's minister, Jerad White, has translated the God is Holy evangelism tract into a children's version. This is a great resource for sharing the gospel with your children or for your children to share the gospel with their friends!

"On-the-Go" Devotions

On-the-Go devotions are illustration-centered devotions designed for families on the move. Organized by topic, they are easy to teach and apply! If you're looking for some family devotions that are focused on scripture and the biblical principles we can learn from the world around us, look no further!

Foster and Adoption Support

We want to minister to you whether you are a foster and/or adoption family, desiring to be one, or have a passion for caring for families who are. We host fellowship gatherings throughout the school year. See our calendar below for upcoming events.

Family Dedication Workshop

This workshop disciples parents in the most foundational decision of Christian parenting - to give your child away to Jesus Christ. This decision is the precursor to raising one’s child in the training and instruction of the Lord. The workshop welcomes parents of children aged birth to high school and is a prerequisite for our Sunday morning Parent-Child Dedication Ceremony. During the Dedication Workshop, you will have an opportunity to choose a Worship Service time where you will make the dedication of your child public and be prayed over by the church.

If you would like to attend a Dedication Workshop, please see the Upcoming Events section below for the next session. Lunch & Childcare will be provided.
