Did You Know?
83% of parents believe they are most responsible for their child's spiritual development; only 35% say their faith is one of the most important influences on their parenting.
Sunday school's lasting impact: A whopping 69% of American adults remember consistently attending Sunday school once a week as a child. Of those adults, 50% currently attend church once a week, which is higher than the national average.
Parents are the best: For preteens, Mom & Dad are on top when it comes to matters of trust and communication. When asked who they call first when they are in trouble, who they trust the most, who understands them best, and who they can talk most openly with, Mom ranked # 1 on the list, followed closely by Dad in all four categories.
