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

Here you can read news and updates from the Family Network. Everything from updates about a need for help to the great stories of how God intervenes in people's lives.
Sept 2025: Need for more hands + prayer answered with wheels
A good story from the Family Network ❤️ and an update!
There are still a lot of good things happening in Family Network contexts. We don't make as much noise as we usually do, as the resources are on a volunteer basis, so there is a limit to what we can write down and get out of good stories. But they are there – nonstop!
We see the diakonia flourish, the number of people who show up increase and the demand for our help is more than we can cover, but we do what we can. We see in particular more and more Muslim families coming to us hungry for faith, hope, love, which we try to embrace as best we can. More and more of them are asking for intercession after they get to know us and we also see answers to prayers from big to small.
Here is one of many good stories/answered prayers from a Muslim girl ❤️
Just before summer vacation, a 9-year-old girl asked for our help in praying that Jesus would send her a bike, because she had nothing to do, go to, or any summer vacation experiences to look forward to, but she wanted to ride a bike if possible! So we prayed…! ❤️
A few days later, an email came that the Family Network had been granted some bicycles that would arrive at our door and vulnerable children could simply come and pick them up. There were enough bicycles for both the girl and her siblings, who have wanted bicycles for a long time, but the family has not been able to afford them due to the small amount of money available! ❤️ The mother, moved and grateful, picked up bicycles for the whole group and her best THANK YOU was an ethnic dish that several of us from the leadership team ate at our next planning meeting.
This testimony with the girl's prayer and an answer right after gives FAITH that God hears prayer and acts on our prayer. 🔥 God has a way of doing more than what we ask for 😊 We asked for a bicycle, but he sent so that all 4 siblings in need got one each.
We need help
Mette Knudsen has unfortunately had to resign due to health reasons after a car accident. So we are in need of hands and people who are willing to help and support not only the practical aspects, but also the planning of our activities. Thank you for praying for new solutions and new colleagues in this context.
We would also like to mention that we have sent out 13-14 applications for targeted fundraising for the Family Network. Nothing has come in yet, so thank you for any prayers regarding finances for the Family Network and hours for employees to run it. If you feel like blessing the Family Network with an amount, it is most welcome. Just contact Johnny Hansen if you feel like blessing the Family Network with finances for next season.
If you also want to help, support, to 'sow' faith, hope, love into families, we need help here and now more than ever. We need hands both for the Family Network (odd Wednesdays in the afternoon hours) and for the Women's Café (even Wednesdays in the morning hours). Please send a text message to Tabita at 93709905 and she will call you. YOU are needed ❤️
Kind regards on behalf of the Family Network

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!
Together with a fantastic team of volunteers, we have Family Network every Wednesday at church, where we gather with lonely adults, families and all those who need us. We help them with their current needs.
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.
