Family Outreach
Motto: "Changing the inner city for Christ one family at a time"
- Home Visits and school visits: We go to the homes and meet the families. If they are experiencing difficulties we try to see how we can help. If we do not have the resources to help we refer them to places where they can be helped. We pray with the families and offer support and encouragement.
- Family Bonding Dinners Dinners: We have monthly dinners which all of the parents and children are encouraged to attend. Families enjoy dinner together and parents watch their children perform various creative arts. Parents also learn new life skills, and receive encouragement in the important roll they play in their children's lives.
- Supportive Counseling: We are available to meet with the parents who would like to talk with someone about any issues. We provide prayer to help them cope and find more freedom in their lives. If there is a greater need for more in-depth counseling, we refer them to people who can help.
- Advocacy and Mentoring: We have often provided crises support when families are experiencing difficult times. We strive to act as Christ to those who are going through rough times, and support and encourage them throughout these times.
- Spiritual Programs: We share our faith with the parents and at our dinner meetings. We encourage our parents to find a church that they would like to go to. We also provide teachings and speakers at our various programs. We sometimes do small group Bible Studies with a few parents who are interested. At times, we have parent classes on various topics. We also invite the women to attend women's retreats at local churches.
