Is there a Church in Kansas somewhere I can take him to, a Bible camp or something,
he's only 3 right now but I don't want to risk it. Please any advice?

he is only 3... if you as a 'good Christian' live your life as a shining example to him, and teach him right from wrong.. and bring him up in the Church.. then you have done all you can do except pray.... and if he does choose to live a different lifestyle than yours then just keep praying... when he is older there are bible camps that are very fun and enlightening... but 3 is way to early to worry about camp. More like 9 - 14

Perhaps you should be checking into some sort of camp for yourself. I feel sorry for your son....
You will do nothing but drive your son away from the very thing you feel is important for him. Let him discover Christianty on his own accord. Show him how important it is to you, but go no further, if this is something he chooses, then so be it.
Right now, your son needs to be three. Then four, then five, and so on.... It is too early right now..... man, relax.
Enjoy your son as he is right now, worry about that other stuff when the right time arises.....
Goos luck,
Stevo.
P.S. If he chooses athieism, evolutionism, or homosexuality, he will still be your son, and you his father, you need to show him love and support in whatever he chooses, even if those choices aren't what you would have chosen for him.......

People that turn out to be atheists, evolutionist, and homosexuals usually have some kind of distrurbed or troubled childhood.
You should try to give you kid a sturdy and safe home, and teach him the difference between right and wrong - don't force your viewpoint or brainwash him though.
But most importantly, you should always let him know that you will love him no matter what he chooses to become. A parents' love should always be unconditional.

Nice avatar. A little hypo-CHRISTIAN of you.
Why not try loving and accepting for what he is not what he might become. You force feed any time of religion on someone they'll only resent you or God for it. What happens to your son now or in the future is between him and God. Lay off!!!!! He's a toddler for pity's sake.
People like you are the reason some have problems with God.

Why are you even having these doubts if you're a "good christian"? You should just pray for your son and have faith. Risk it = having doubt. The prayers of a parent are the most powerful for a child... have faith in God, have faith in your son, and just give him all the love you can give, and make sure to uphold your beliefs and teach him what you believe, and show him the love of God, and he should naturally follow. That's... pretty much what you should do.

Your child is 3.... The Bible says to: Train the child in the way they ought to grow that when they are old they will not depart..... They may differ from what they have been taught but prayer and fasting will keeep them close in the times when they stray ...if they stray....... once again he is only 3..... his biggest concern right now is getting the latest toy he sees on t.v Do not look for what is not there... enjoy him

Are ya kidding? Did you bring a child into this world to judge him? If you are a Christian, then you know that's not your job. Love him, that's the answer. Be open~ maybe he can teach you things you never thought about, that's what being human is all about. Learning from others and teaching others~ there's no right or wrong way to be, unless you intentionally hurt another person, and trying to "change" a child, is intentionally hurting them.

You can only help him avoid these pratfalls by training him up right. The choices he makes in life are his own after he matures and understand the truth or frailty of the teaching of his parents. Since he's still so young, you can shape his mind and his conscious by training him to understand that homosexuality is wrong and etc.

Why are you worry about such things so far in the future?....the bible tells us not to worry...you are a Christian that is letting fear take control of you...you are being fooled by Satan....snap out of it and let God take the wheel again....what if your son turns out to be a good normal kid....have you thought abou that? Have a little faith
