Family Development
The purpose of Family Development is to foster healthy families by creating conditions that allow people to be agents of positive change in their community.
Services Provided
Counseling. Classes and counselors are available to targeted families to resolve issues such as family conflict, budgeting and parenting issues. We will help families talk through the issues and come to a biblical framework for resolving problems.
Substance Abuse. The Xenos Never Alone ministry offers a weekly Christ-centered Twelve Step meeting for individuals suffering with chemical dependency.
Job Referrals & Social Services. The Urban Concern office has become a place where individuals come for employment and social service referrals. In a typical week, the staff refers more than five adults to various jobs and social service agencies.
Housing. Urban Concern collaborates with a local housing developer who provides quality, affordable housing for families in the community.
