Englewood Family Outreach
Mission: To restore our communities in Englewood by proclaiming Christ, training in godliness, and empowering the vulnerable
We are a strategically small organization that has been serving the Englewood community on the south side of Chicago for over 30 years. We have intentionally built relationships with the people our society has most neglected and despised with the goal of restoring them to their communities of church, family, and neighbors. We do this through Bible studies, mentorship, discipleship, teaching trades, and other programs while purposefully focusing on cultivating these relationships. We are a 501(c)(3) organization funded by individuals, churches, and businesses who want to see the broken in Chicago redeemed.
Our Vision
- A redeemed community.
Our Values
- Gospel proclamation.
- Discipleship.
- Reconciliation.
- Family development.
- Community restoration.
Our Goals
- 10 community-focused programs that promote belonging and restore dignity
- 100 adults with steady jobs and giving back to the community
- 300 family members growing in Christ as part of a local church body
