Organization: Urban Family Ministries
Mission: Urban Family Ministries exists to strengthen families and change lives by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the urban core of Grand Rapids through relational, spiritual and economic empowerment.
Activities: In an average week during the school year, Urban Family Ministries offers programs that include Bible studies, life skills, homework help, games, food and more for urban children and their families. A college partnership pairs mentors with teens for an introduction to an on-campus college experience. During the summer, an overnight camp experience is offered to students where they can learn about Jesus outside of their urban environment. UFM reaches over 900 individuals each year through various programs. Volunteers serve UFM in many capacities to make a difference in the lives of the neighborhood families.
Religious classification: Christianity
