Families Assisting and Mentoring in the Lives of Youth
In 2008, New Life Worship Center received a grant from the Cincinnati Health Foundation, to develop a program to help prevent alcohol and drug use by our youth. Our goal was to empower parents and other significant adults as we infused the assets into our programming and therefore into the lives of young people and their families.

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy,
so are the branches.
There are 40 ASSETS that are taught, but the F.A.M.I.L.Y. Program focuses on the following:
Support
Family Support, Positive Communication and Other Adult Relationships
Boundaries and Expectations Family Boundaries, Adult Role Models, High Expectations
Social Competencies
Planning and Decision Making, Peaceful Conflict Resolution
Our program has been very successful and has received national recognition being showcased in a National Magazine, and asked to be presenters at several conferences in the Greater Cincinnati Area. But more importantly, we’ve seen growth in our youth, and our parents are encouraged as we form a true partnership between the home and the church.
