At Hawkins House, we understand that the preteen years are a pivotal time for deepening a child’s understanding of the gospel and helping them discover the unique role they play in God’s family. This pillar is all about Identity & Character and is designed to guide parents and preteens through this crucial stage, focusing on how gospel truth shapes their identity and the choices they make. This pillar encourages kids to explore who they are in Christ, develop strong character rooted in faith, and understand their purpose within the larger family of God. We address topics like belonging, responsibility, spiritual gifts, and standing firm in their faith amid challenges, all with the help of The Adventures of Alex & Isabel: A graphic novel series for 11-13 year olds.
