Familias Unidas

A Christian Parenting and Caregiving Initiative

Familias Unidas

The purpose of our initiative is to come alongside Christian families as they support their children in their formational journey. 

This project will support Latino congregations, parents, and caregivers by curating community driven resources that will consider the unique assets that Latino families embody. In partnership with Missio Alliance, we are creating resources that will include educational opportunities, specialized training, and support networks.

Meet Olivia from Heart and Soul Community Church

"I’m a graduate of Northeastern Seminary, and I was really excited to learn about the Familas Unilas initiative and how we at Heart and Soul can get involved. Our team has decided that we want to support our families at home and give them projects and activities to do together during the week—not just on Sundays."
