UNITE in FAMILIES
​
The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make His face shine on you;
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn His face toward you
and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
​
Unite's mission is to help you care for your people and community so that our vision can be realized: everyone in DFW flourishing.
HOW DO WE HELP?
A THEOLOGY OF FAMILY + FLOURISHING
If we think about "flourishing" as a word to describe life as God intended it and what we want for those we love, we can look at our role in our families from 3 perspectives:
​
Stewardship of your patch of the garden:
-- your home in addition to the workplace, church, school, community, etc. where God has placed you.
​
Care for the people God has put in your life:
-- your family, co-workers, friends, and neighbors.
​
The intrinsic value of your work:
-- anything productive that's done in love is valuable to the Lord. That includes housework but also whatever you get paid to do that's adding value to the world.​

COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES
Unite's Community Experience (also known as COPE) is an opportunity to walk in someone else's shoes in light of our vision for holistic flourishing. This is our recommended starting point no matter what your current situation or background are as you explore what it means to care for your family and others.
​
It's the most effective tool we've seen for helping people understand the challenges other people face and the role of various community organizations of getting us back on the pathway to flourishing. So effective, in fact, the education and healthcare sectors use it for professional development.
