Feel Powerless to Confront Our City’s Brokenness?
Join us to strengthen families, change lives and transform Memphis.
Our donors invest their wealth in Families Matter to transform inner-city families through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
What We Are Doing
Equipping & Encouraging Fathers
We empower, encourage, and strengthen men so they can build healthy families based on biblical principles and the example of Jesus Christ.
Educating & Mentoring Teenagers
We equip teenagers the wisdom they need to find their identity in Christ. From that center they will make responsible decisions and lifestyle choices to avoid mistakes with long-term consequences.
Strengthening Families
We encourage and equip families in the Memphis community with resources to manage times of struggle without crisis.
Everyone should live in a safe home with harmonious family relationships in a healthy environment.
A Life Changed Through the Nurturing Father’s Program
More Must Be Done
Poverty
The city of Memphis has a poverty rate of 21.7% and child poverty is much higher, at 35%. We must address the breakdown of the family, which leaves so many wonmen and children defenseless.
Violence
According to TBI, the violent crime rate in Memphis rose to 24.3% in 2020 from 23.1% the previous year. MPD says there are 13,400 gang members on record in our city.
Homicide
In 2020, Memphis had more than 330 homicides, and 289 of those were murders. Some neighborhoods have so much violence, it is not safe for families to live their daily lives.
Join a community of donors hoping, praying and acting to revitalize Memphis. One family at a time, we can see the power of truth and the love of God transform inner-city Memphis. We are working toward a future where gangs will disappear, local businesses will flourish, and individuals will be at peace with their Creator.
