Our mission question is: How can we support the whole person flourish?
Islamic Family supports the mother who is fleeing abuse without making her compromise her identity or safety. We support the man seeking counselling that respects his values. We support youth looking for a creative platform that appreciates and amplifies their voice. We support families beginning new lives amidst hardship.
We are Islamic Family & we are created to serve.
