Parenting Resources
Parenting is one of life’s biggest joys—and sometimes one of its biggest stressors. If you’re raising children in Santee, El Cajon, Lakeside, or across East County San Diego, Sonrise Church is here to walk alongside you—tools in hand, faith in heart.
Whether you’re facing behavior challenges, communication breakdowns, spiritual conversations, or just the pressure to “get it right,” we offer biblically grounded guidance, community support, and resources to help you lead with love, patience, and wisdom. You don’t have to parent perfectly—just with purpose and hope.
