About Us
Leslie and Sheree Hobbs are born and bred in Zimbabwe and are based in Harare. We have 4 adult children and two grandchildren, and we are incredibly grateful that the Growing Families material came across our path when it did! At the time we had a toddler and a new born, and all our idealistic parenting views had failed us! We were looking for information on Biblical parenting that wasn’t a quick fix or gimmick based, but based on Biblical principles that would be there for the long game, and signed up for our first Growing Kids Gods Way course that the church was launching. Suffice to say, every week after attending each session we found the material was not only providing us with practical tools, but was challenging us to the core, regarding our commitment to Biblical ethics, and we can say for us, this process was life changing for us as individuals, as a couple and as a family. For decades we have been involved with families in community based groups, where we have witnessed couples going through this same process, and it is always a delight for us to see the truth of God’s Word impact families!

Statement of Faith
We believe there is one true God, manifested eternally in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, who possesses all the divine attributes and is coequal, coexistent, and coeternal with the Father. We believe in His virgin birth, that He was God incarnate (both God and man), for the purpose of revealing the Father, redeeming men and ruling over God's Kingdom. He accomplished man's redemption by the vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood and sacrificial death on the cross. By His literal, physical resurrection from the dead and His ascension to the right hand of the Father, the sinner is justified. We believe Jesus to be the mediator between God and man who will return in glory to judge all mankind.
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third member of the Trinity, possessing all the divine attributes with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is the super-natural and sovereign agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ at the moment of conversion. The Holy Spirit also indwells, sanctifies, instructs, and empowers all believers for spiritual service.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who administers spiritual gifts to each believer for the purpose of equipping the saints and for the building up of the body of Christ.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and lost, the saved to eternal life and the lost to everlasting punishment.
We believe that all who place their faith in Jesus Christ are placed by the Holy Spirit into the spiritual body of believers known as the church, with Christ established as the head. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by the teaching and instruction of the Word, by building the faith of its members, by providing an atmosphere of worship, by providing fellowship, and by fulfilling the great commission to reach the world for Jesus Christ.
We believe that man is a sinner and that the penalty for sin is eternal separation from the Father. We believe that eternal life is a free gift of grace bestowed upon each repentant sinner who responds in faith to the provision of salvation in Jesus Christ. Regeneration is instantaneous and is accomplished solely by the power of the Holy Spirit. Genuine regeneration will manifest itself by righteous attitudes, edifying conduct, and good works to the extent that each believer submits himself to the control of the Holy Spirit.
We believe the Bible is God’s expressed declaration. It is authoritative for life and salvation and speaks with clarity to all points above. It is the Word of God (literally God-breathed), and accepted as inerrant, verbally inspired, and infallible.
