Family of God

Founded in 1996 by Sue Hatcher-Wilson a social worker Family of God began as a small Bible study. It met weekly at the Clark Street YMCA. The group offered support to people facing drug addiction homelessness and mental health challenges. It provided more than just spiritual guidance. Coffee and snacks evolved into full meals. The ministry grew quickly. It soon outgrew its initial space. Family of God moved several times to accommodate its expanding community. In 2002 Jim Hill joined the ministry. He became a key figure.
