Our Mission
Building Stronger Families in Southeast Michigan
Started by a group of young couples who believe that strong families are the foundation of a thriving community.
Who We Are
The Huron Mills Association
The Huron Mills Association is dedicated to organizing and promoting authentic family life among citizens of Michigan. We create educational, social, and spiritual activities that help men and women discover in marriage and parenthood opportunities for personal growth and service to others.
We believe that strong families are the foundation of a thriving community. Through our comprehensive programs and supportive community, we empower parents and couples with the knowledge, skills, and spiritual guidance needed to build healthy, joyful families that positively impact Michigan and beyond.
What We Believe
The Foundation of Everything We Do
🏠
Family Is the Foundation
We believe that the family unit is the foundation of society. For society to prosper and human beings to flourish, parents need a clear understanding of their role and purpose.
🌱
Character Is a Lifelong Journey
The task of character formation begins at the earliest stages of childhood development and continues to adulthood and beyond — it’s the work of a lifetime.
🧭
Every Stage Matters
Each stage in a child’s life presents unique challenges. Parents need to prepare to understand and address these challenges ahead of time.
Our Approach
How We Help Families Grow
