Other Ministries

Urban Family Ministries also helps those in need by:

Housing Reclamation Projects
With the help of many partners and volunteers, Urban Family Ministries has purchased “abandoned” homes and remodeled them for families needing a place to live.

Neighborhood Plant
Just as Jesus came to dwell among us, Urban Family Ministries volunteers move into a neighborhood seeking to develop and build relationships, and to share Jesus with the kids and their families. Whether it’s through being "all-time quarterback" in a pick up football game, coaching the local school basketball team or inviting neighborhood kids to the house "just to talk", God uses our “plant” volunteers to change the neighborhood.

Junior High / High School Outreach
Urban Family Ministries’ serves Junior High/High School age youth as well. One way to do this is to bring together high schoolers from the inner city to play ball, and to study the Scriptures. True disciples are being made through these unique biblical communities.

South Side Crew
It’s so rewarding when those who are served learn to serve others. And that’s what Urban Family Ministries’ hip-hop group “South Side Crew” is all about. Whether ministering at churches, special events or cutting a new track for their CD, the joy in their music is second to the joy of seeing these kids sing and dance for Jesus.

Disaster Relief
Because of the vast network of volunteers, Urban Family Ministries is able to quickly marshal the resources necessary when disaster strikes. Acting as a conduit, Urban Family Ministries is able to supply both material and human volunteer resources during times of natural disaster.
