Give this generation what we missed in the last two
Engaging Dads In a Fresh New Way
Join a growing coalition of faith leaders across ethnic and denominational lines who want to impact discipleship so we can improve on the fact that only 10% of our kids, raised in our churches follow Jesus for a lifetime. We invite you to learn how to engage the average dad in leading the spiritual formation of their home. Here from other pastors and dads on this journey.

The next generation is walking away.
Fathers can bring them back.
The National Rite of Passage Council and a coalition of fatih leaders across denominational lines invite you to learn how to engage the average dad in leading the spiritual formation of their home. Join Matt Hanson and Seattle-area pastors for the launch of the Aion Path in your area and learn how churches are leading dads on a journey of discipleship along side their kids. Discipleing both of them in the process.
The Problem
You already know the stats.
10% of kids raised in our churches follow Jesus for a lifetime. Research is clear, dads have the greatest influence on whether their children will follow Jesus for a lifetime. Most dads are not confident and don’t feel equipped. As a consequence, they are under-engaged.
The Invitation
What if fathers became the primary disciplers again?
On Wednesday, May 06th, we are gathering 15-20 senior and family pastors who want to be part of leading the next generation.
This isn’t another program pitch. It’s a conversation about:
- Awakening fathers to their God-given role
- Equipping dads with a proven roadmap and instilling confidence
- Building a movement in Fort Worth that fights for our kids’ futures
