Opening: John-David and Claudette Lusan, Servant Leaders, at GHVC
Welcome to the Parenting Workshop: Generational Parenting is a powerful workshop that helps parents understand and intentionally shape the legacy they pass down to their children. We will explore topics on building on purpose, training and not telling, and thinking generationally. We look forward to getting to know you and will have a Q& A session to discuss questions you may have and answer questions from the lessions shared.

Building on Purpose
Bio: Barry and Beth have been married for 34 years and live in Columbia, South Carolina. They became members of the ColaChurch when in the campus ministry of the University of South Carolina and Barry has been an elder at ColaChurch since 2022. Their most proud achievement has been raising their two children, Barry Lane (III) and Erin. Barry Lane is an IT Project Manager and also worships at the ColaChurch. Erin attends Georgia Tech and lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, Josh Vincent, who she met in the Clemson University campus ministry. They worship at the North River Church.

Training Not Telling
This class will focus on practicals and principles for training and guiding school-age children. Bio: The Brands moved to Huntsville in 2020 with a goal of serving the local church. They live on an unofficial farm with goats and a garden and enjoy hiking in the beautiful nature that God provides. JJ earned his BS in Biology and has been a public middle school teacher for nearly 15 years, starting his career in an alternative school setting. Tae explores whatever life brings her. She began her career in public libraries, earned her BS in Biology, and worked in environmental science for 13 years. After moving to Huntsville, she taught science at a private school and now works as a clinic administrator at Rocket City Speech Therapy. JJ and Tae have two wonderful children, JT (12) and Esther (9), and they enjoy reading, hiking, and spending as much time together as possible. The Brands feel truly blessed to serve in the Youth and Family ministry at GHVC.
