Vestavia Parents

Vestavia Parents

Hey Mom and Dad,

I’m Carter McInnis, the Lead Pastor at Mountaintop. As a dad of four boys, I know the middle and high school years can be complicated, and teens are growing up faster than we can comprehend. I also know parenting doesn’t come with instructions. However, I know we all want to do our best to get it right. At Mountaintop, we want to help you do that. Melissa Sanderson (our Kids Pastor) and Josh Power (our Student Pastor) have compiled resources to help you navigate the complexities of some of the issues facing parents and teens today. Below, you’ll find PDFs to help you talk with your teens, a link to a great podcast, and a helpful app. We hope you find these resources helpful as we partner with you in raising the next generation. As fellow parents, we’d love to meet you! You’ll find my wife, Emily, and I at most Vestavia football games and track meets cheering for our sons. Feel free to reach out and say hello.

Make the most of Middle and High School

This pivotal season goes by fast. While the goal is often to survive these years, Mountaintop is here to help students make the most of them. On Sunday evenings, students meet up with their friends for live music, practical teaching, and small group conversation guided by adult leaders who care about them.
