More than 40 years of helping families pursue what matters most.

Our Timeline

In 1975, a tearful Ney Bailey shared her heart with the team. Young couples on staff were fracturing. She longed to help. Sure, Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) was helping thousands of people. But individual marriages mattered too, right?

So a tiny group of Cru staff set out to safeguard staff marriages. Their idea? Create a marriage and family ministry training couples to structure solid homes using God’s blueprint.

More than 40 years later, we’re still hard at work with that … And a few other things. That single plea from one woman blossomed into today’s FamilyLife, serving all shapes and sizes of families around the world.
