A Heart for Rockwood
Since our formation, our desire at Faithful Friends has been to bring support to children in local communities deeply impacted by the struggles of life that are most common to family breakup and disfunction. We love equipping God’s people in local churches to shine their lights brightly in some of the darkest areas of the city.

The cultural diversity in Rockwood boasts over 88 languages! Investment is happening, and spaces are being created to help bridge some of the gaps that have prevented a more thriving community. One of the most visible updates lately is known as Rockwood Market Hall. Check it out next time you’re looking for some good international food. If you want to dive deeper into Rockwood’s stats, take a look at this 100-page identity atlas.
As we move into 2023, we plan to continue to partner with churches, schools, and social services to bring the Kingdom of God to the families in this vital area. Join us as we seek more volunteer mentors who live in or nearby the Rockwood.
If you can help connect us with potential volunteers, churches, or social services, please get in touch!
