Help prevent Anxiety & Depression in your children and teenagers


A 2018 Harvard study examined how being raised in a family with religious beliefs affects mental health.

Those who attended a religious service 
at least 1x per week 
scored higher on psychological well-being measurements and had lower risks of mental illness.

Weekly attendance was also associated with higher rates of volunteerism, lower probabilities of both drug use and sexual immorality, and a sense of purpose.

Christianity encourages gratitude and empathy as antidotes to entitlement and selfishness. These are the building blocks of strong character. Faith also protects against depression and anxiety.

Being with people who share their faith can also act as a buffer against the emptiness and isolation of modern culture. 

Faith mindfulness, a sense of self-control, and discipline. And when you enter the sanctuary you mind your manners and have a sense of calm. You relax you bodies and calm your mind.
