Familyhood’s mission is to restore hope in families and renew hurting communities by embracing and embodying God’s design for the family to thrive.

Our History

907_5674.jpg

Familyhood Programs, formally known as Familyhood Ministries Inc., was founded by Rebecca Gutwein in 2016 and later re-developed in January 2018 under the operation of Sunshine Gospel Ministries (SGM). Familyhood’s mission was to restore hope in families and renew hurting communities by embracing and embodying God’s design for the family. The vision was to provide practical training, intervention where necessary, and facilitate spaces where parents and children can come together to abound in love, to reconcile and grow as family units. Strong urban families will be provided a critical foundation for the neighborhood in Woodlawn community and ultimately for the broader culture to thrive.
