“OneFamily has been so empowering in helping us to be on the same page with parenting.  It’s equipped us with the same language to use in our goals and a shared vision for our family & children!”

Trish, Parker

“I found (OneFamily) extremely useful and relevant to my family’s situation.  I plan to utilize many of the great teachings from both the class material and our awesome leaders.”

Levi, Highlands Ranch

 “As a parent of a very headstrong and stubborn 8-year-old as well as a very needy 2-year-old, I often feel like a failure as a parent.  Listening to and implementing some of the ideas that (OneFamily) gave us at our MOPS meeting has changed things for the better!  My daughter is more cooperative and my son is more independent because of the simple yet effective steps laid out.  I feel like I’m on the brink of huge change in my children’s lives as well as in the way my husband and I parent!”

Mandy, Aurora

Equipping, encouraging and sustaining marriages and families. This is the mission of OneFamily!

To Equip you with practical advice and intentional strategies to help you be proactive in your marriage and parenting.

To Encourage you in the process.  We are all in the process of creating a thriving marriage and family, yet there will be many times when you need the extra reassurance to help you through those times of challenge and difficulty.

To Sustain you in the journey as your relationship evolves and grows with your spouse and your children.

Each week we send out our daily thought provoking quotes along with our Tuesday Letter of advice and encouragement.  But, as you may not know, this is just one small part of OneFamily.  Since our last update at the end of 2016, we continue build and grow the OneFamily outreach:

  • This Spring, we hosted our largest parenting class with nearly 110 moms and dads registered.
  • We have become a strategic partner with MOPS International (Mothers of Preschoolers) where we have launched a pilot program to integrate our Toddlerhood Transitions class with 20-30 Denver area MOPS groups, that will impact over 1000 families just this year alone.
  • We are working with non-profit groups in South America to promote our Spanish translation of the Parenting from The Tree of Life workbooks.
  • We’ve begun partnering with GEMS (Godly Encouragement for Moms) by providing content for their media platforms and hoping to provide OneFamily parents a network of certified “Contact Moms” to answer questions and be an encouraging resource.
  • In September, Gary and Anne Ezzo (authors of the curricula we teach) will be coming to Denver to Keynote our Fundraising Event and present a Saturday Morning Parenting Workshop where we hope to draw 300-500 parents from the Rocky Mountain region!

Studies show the positive impact healthy marriages and families can have in every aspect of society.  From improved physical and mental health to academic potential to financial prosperity, a thriving home life can only improve our communities.  Over the past four years OneFamily has served over 1200 families with very limited resources.  As we continue in this process to build and grow OneFamily to equip, encourage and sustain even more marriages and families, we need your help – Time, Talent and Treasure!

Time & Talent – If you are passionate as we are about marriages and families, we could use your help as a volunteer!  There are many areas in which you can serve OneFamily from social media posting and graphic design to technical support.  Please contact us if you are interested in helping us serve families in this way!

Treasure – This is a pivotal year for our non-profit organization in the goal to reach more families.  While we continue to be blessed and encouraged by the financial support we have received, for us to accomplish our 2017 goals, we need your support.  Completing and expanding our Spanish content is just one example of the many OneFamily initiatives that require significant financial resources. But we also have several funding needs, operationally, to make OneFamily scalable to greater numbers of families.  We ask that you prayerfully consider helping OneFamily with a tax-deductible donation*.  Click Here or go to https://onefamilyhwl.org/product/onefamily-donation/

We are very excited and encouraged by the success OneFamily has been blessed with to date. We hope you will actively join with us in our mission of equipping, encouraging and sustaining families for a brighter future and a better world.

Blessings to your Family!
