Parent small group
If you drop your kids off at Archetype on Friday nights at our Vancouver Campus and you're looking for something to do, we'd love for you to consider joining a new Parent Small Group that meets weekly at the church during our Archetype programs. It is parent led and is a great opportunity to build connections with other parents of teenagers to help build a peer to peer support network in your life!

PLUGGED IN
Ever wondered what your child is watching or listening to? PluggedIn is a free online resource that reviews songs, movies, TV shows, and YouTube content and is honest about the what’s portrayed in it. It breaks down all the violence, sexual content, and profanity that’s shown in that media allowing you to make a judgment call about what to allow your child to view. It’s a great way to check what’s in the movie before heading to the theatres.
