The Importance of Fatherhood

Fatherlessness is becoming an epidemic, with the majority of kids in America not growing up with a present father in the home. This absence of fathers is greatly impacting masculinity and the confidence of young men. It is crucial that fathers take an active role in their children's lives and be present in the home. Fatherhood is a vital component in building strong families and the fabric of our society.
