\Xy"lem\, n. The woody tissue of a plant that provides support and acts as
a conduit for water and nourishment. |
 Xylem Family Resource is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. |
| Xylem is a non-profit organization that longs to see the restoration of the sacredness of family.
We strive to be THE Christian resource to churches and their families in the Denver Metro area.
Xylem began by ministering to families within Pathways Church of Denver. Not long after our ministry began, we found that many were attending our classes and asking for our services that reached beyond our church and into our community. In June of 2004, Xylem became its own non-profit and is reaching families across the Denver metro area from Elizabeth to Loveland and even nationally. Xylem is the part of the plant that supports and acts as the main conduit for nourishment. Through support and nourishment, life is sustained. Xylem Family Resource desires to be the conduit of support and the source of nourishment that God uses to strengthen and restore families. We do this by teaching, modeling, loving, coaching, partnering and encouraging families from preconception, to pregnancy, and through all stages of parenting. We believe that to develop a strong and healthy community at large, we need to start with strengthening and healing the smallest part of our community, the family. |
