Fight

AbsencE.

Choose

Presence.

Engage

Restoration.

A father does not have to be gone to be absent.

Statistics support nearly all societal issues facing us today can be traced back to a child growing up in a father-absent home.  But what if a father is at home, and still absent?  It's what we call the silent statistic; present but not engaged.  This form of absence has significant impact too, and whether it's a moment in conversation, or a season in life - it is every dad's fight.  We provide ALL fathers (and father figures) with tools and opportunities to make a change.

TOGETHER, HELPING FATHERS CHOOSE PRESENCE

20,000 hours

We facilitated over 20,000 hrs of intentional presence between a father and child since 2022.

RESOURCES

dadvocate group

"Mountain top" moments are important; affording space to step outside our daily routine, think more clearly, and see our lives from a different vantage point.  Family Lines specializes in facilitating these moments for dads.  Yet while mountain tops are essential for gaining perspective, life is lived and worked out in the valley - and it can be hard.  This virtual group of fellow fathers provides encouragement and counsel for life in the valley.
