OUR HISTORY

Familyhood’s mission was to restore hope in families and renew hurting communities by embracing and embodying God’s design for the family. The vision was to provide practical training, intervention where necessary, and facilitate spaces where parents and children can come together to abound in love, to reconcile and grow as family units. Strong urban families will be provided a critical foundation for the neighborhood in Woodlawn community and ultimately for the broader culture to thrive.
