Family network
The Family Network (or Familienetværket) offers exciting and free activities for vulnerable families, parents and children/youth who could use more activities or help in everyday life.
We meet on Wednesdays twice a month, usually in the late afternoon. First we enjoy ourselves together, drink coffee and have snacks.
Afterwards, the adults gather in a group by themselves, while wonderful volunteers play and do creative things with the children. Then we eat together and end with a devotional for those who wish to participate.
In the group discussion, the idea is that the adults can talk together about small and large problems that you may come across in everyday life. It can be everything from the children's schooling, health, relationships, finances that are not working out and practical everyday issues to being able to understand unwritten rules in society, etc.
Sometimes we also have special events with relevant themes, which can be used for inspiration, for example on raising children, finances and quality of life. We also do pampering events with a focus on well-being and health and many other exciting things.
We offer that you can meet warm people, meet like-minded people, join a community, form networks, have fun, eat together, activities for children/youth/adults, inspiration for practical everyday life in the family, personal counselling, social counselling, financial counselling, for those who need it and finally devotion for those who want to participate.
The Family Network takes place in the City Church in collaboration with Blue Cross.
All activities with the Family Network are free.
Where: Citykirken
When: Wednesday afternoons in odd-numbered weeks

My name is Tabita Kjer and I'm responsible for Family Network Aarhus West.
There are so many vulnerable people and families who suffer and go through their problems alone. They have few resources, are lonely and can't get help. We want to change that in the Family Network. We want to reach out to vulnerable people and be a light for them and show them that there are people who care about them and want to help them! Jesus is good and He also wants to love and help them.
Sammen med et fantastiske team af frivillige holder vi Familienetværk hver onsdag i kirken, hvor vi samles med ensomme voksne, familier og alle dem, som har brug for os. Her hjælper vi dem fx med papirer fra kommunen, støtter dem og beder for dem.
In 2024 I married Flemming and together we have the beautiful children: Sarah from 2002, Gabriella from 2008 and the twins Joshua and Joy from 2011. They mean everything to us. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, being in nature, going swimming and much more.
My name is Mette Knudsen and I'm responsible for Family Network Aarhus West with Tabita.
I am trained within pedagogy and work as a coordinator and coping counselor in Syddjurs municipality. I spend my free time with my family (especially my 2 grandchildren) and volunteering for the Red Cross. I recharge most when I'm in nature and with my friends.
I Citykirken er jeg primært med i Familienetværket og Kvindecaféen. Det er en velsignelse at få lov at tjene sammen med andre, som også brænder for at gøre en forskel – stor som lille – i menneskers hverdag. At gøre noget, som gør en lille forskel, at opmuntre, vise kærlighed, omsorg eller hjælpe med noget praktisk – behovene er store og forskelligartede. Jeg bliver berørt over, hvor tillidsfulde menneskerne er, hvordan de lukker os ind i deres liv og deres historier. Det fylder mig med ydmyghed og taknemmelighed.
In addition, Citykirken has a special meaning for me, as it is the church that I started attending after I became a believer and it is also where I was baptized.
