Reaching the Heart of Your Child:
A Parenting Event with Ginger Hubbard
When: Saturday, June 27, 2026 | 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Where: Redeemer Presbyterian Church
Do you find yourself threatening, repeating your instructions, or raising your voice in an attempt to get your children to obey? Are you discouraged because it seems you just can’t reach the heart of your child? Join us for a morning of encouragement with Ginger Hubbard, best-selling author and co-host of the Parenting with Ginger Hubbard podcast.
Through personal experience and the practical application of Scripture, Ginger will equip moms and dads to reach past outward behavior and dive deeply into the issues of the heart. Her candid approach helps parents move beyond the frustrations of not knowing how to handle issues of disobedience and into a confident and well-balanced approach to raising their children.
Tickets: Our goal is to equip as many families as possible. Please select the ticket option that best fits your needs:
– Individual Ticket: $25.00
– Couples Ticket: $40.00

Volunteers
We need your help!
This event is a great opportunity for our families to grow, and we need the church body’s help to make it happen! We have several volunteer needs for both parents attending the event (pre- and post-event tasks) and non-attending members (day-of tasks like greeting, hospitality, parking, and childcare) if you are a Redeemer Member.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who is this event for?
This event is for moms, dads, grandparents, educators, and anyone involved in raising or caring for children! Whether you are in the thick of the toddler years or navigating life with older kids, this event is designed for anyone who wants a biblical framework for reaching the hearts of children rather than just modifying outward behavior.
Are kids allowed to attend?
While the teaching content is specifically designed for parents and adults, nursing babies are always welcome. For older children, we are currently working on a dedicated childcare option and will provide more details as we determine if there is enough interest. Please note that we will need to figure out logistics to make sure we can properly ensure the safety and care for the volume of children possibly interested. Because of this, we highly encourage you to use non-attending friends and family as your Plan A!
Will food be provided?
Yes! We will have coffee and light refreshments available when the doors open at 8:00 AM, as well as during the breaks. However, a full lunch is not provided, as the event concludes at 11:30 AM.
Is this event recorded?
No, this event will not be recorded. Because of this, we highly encourage you to make every effort to join us in person so you don’t miss out on this valuable time of teaching, encouragement, and community!
Where can we eat lunch after the event?

Is Detroit safe?
Yes! Like any major metropolitan area, standard travel precautions apply, but Redeemer Church and the immediate surrounding areas are safe and welcoming, especially on a Saturday morning. We will also have a dedicated team of greeters and an Emergency Point Person on-site to ensure a secure, smooth, and comfortable experience for all our guests. We just recommend standard best practices, such as locking your vehicle and keeping valuables out of plain sight.
