For I know the plans I have for
you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future. Then you will call upon me and come and
pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will
seek me with all your heart. I will be found by
you, declares the Lord, and will bring you back
from captivity. Jeremiah 29:11-14
 Our
Mission:
To create a safe, supportive, Christ-centered
environment in which families discover their God-given
potential and access the resources needed to pursue
their life goals. We strive to honor Christ, put
Him first, and give Him glory in everything we
say and do.
As we continue to build on the Family
Growth Program—already in place for
our moms in Transitional
Housing—we want to bring stability to
these families through practical assistance but
more importantly, we want to be a vessel through
which God brings hope and a future. The program
addresses core family stabilization issues such
as personal and spiritual development, family
relationships, child safety and parenting issues,
nutrition and health education, financial management
and life-skills development.
Each participant meets with a case manager to
undergo an assessment to establish a service support
plan, upon which an individualized long-term,
interdependent support system is identified for
each family. Rent assistance is offered to encourage
active participation. Family Growth’s
objective is to a) stabilize
and reduce family breakup due to behavioral dysfunction
and to b) progress families’
lifestyles through education, mentoring support,
and financial planning. Tutors and mentors enable
them to discover their potential and become all
God created them to be, as women and as mothers.
We want them to discover their assets and see
themselves as vital, contributing members of their
communities. However, their greatest hope for
the future is in a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ.
*Program details will be available on this site
in the near future.
