![]() | EVENT GUIDE // Daughters + Dads Date Night We believe that the influence of parents in the lives of their children far outweighs the influence that a youth pastor, youth ministry, or youth leader could ever have. So with that in mind, we want to elevate the family, empower parents, and help moms and dads cultivate quality relationships with their children. This event was one way for us to help dads make this happen. In this Event Kit you'll find everything thing you need to pull this event off as a family or as an entire ministry. We've not only included a guide to walk you through each step of the planning and prep, but we've also included all of the editable files so you can customize the night any way you'd like.
