We believe all of God’s people are of worth and value.
Since 1889, Epworth Family Resources, formerly Mothers’ Jewels Home and then Epworth Village, has provided much needed services to the children, youth and families of Nebraska.
A Christ-centered mission, Epworth provides services to assist children, youth and families in crisis. We serve those children, youth and families who feel left out, powerless and weary. We help strengthen families in order to prevent abuse and neglect whenever possible. We work to help reduce the stress and trauma that can result in children and youth adopting risky behaviors that may cause separation from their family and have a lasting negative effect on their lives.
Epworth Family Resources is proud to be a National Mission Institute of United Women in Faith, formerly United Methodist Women, and affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
We will continue to bring hope and healing!
