The Parenting Conference

Parenting is one of the most sacred roles God gives—but it can often feel overwhelming, confusing, and lonely.

INTO THE DEEP is excited to be partnering with River West Church for The Parenting Conference, where you’ll be reminded that you’re not alone—and you’re not without a guide. Through biblical teaching, real-life stories, and encouraging community, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and a renewed vision to parent with purpose, not pressure. Come discover how to unfold who your child was created to be—and step more fully into who you were called to be.

This conference isn’t about adding more pressure—it’s about lifting it.

Whether you’re parenting toddlers or teens, you’ll walk away with practical tools grounded in timeless truth. You’ll hear from seasoned parents who’ve walked the road before you, engage in honest conversations, and be reminded that God didn’t ask you to be perfect—just faithful. The Parenting Conference will leave you encouraged, equipped, and reconnected to the sacred calling of raising your children with grace, intention, and hope.
