Core Values for the home (CVH)
The family is the most fundamental school of faith and love, and much of the spiritual education happens in everyday life at home. Therefore, FPA-USA is creating Core Values for the Home (CVH), an emerging program that is a joint effort between FPA staff, parents, and other volunteers. Through this program, FPA will provide resources and support for parents as they embark to raise their children from childhood to adulthood in core values and spiritual principles. Currently, we have lessons and ideas parents can implement in their homes. These lessons and activities encourage children to continuously develop their relationships with God in their families and daily lives.
