A Christian Parenting and Caregiving Initiative
Familias Unidas
What if your church could strengthen families right where they are?
The Familias Unidas Grant helps people like you walk alongside Latino families in their spiritual and formational journeys.
Through the Grant, we developed the Youth and Children Spiritual Formation Certificate, a program designed to help pastors and ministry leaders like you support the spiritual growth of young people in your congregation.
You can now earn this certificate at a discounted rate, equipping yourself and your team with practical tools and theological training to help your church community thrive.
