About Us

Every Child Belongs in a family.

Families give us the best chance at being loved, having support, and achieving success. Unfortunately, many kids in our community don’t have that opportunity. That's why we're working to stabilize vulnerable families at risk of disruption, recruiting great foster families for seasons of transition, and recruiting adoptive families to open their hearts and homes when needed.

We believe the local church is not only called but also uniquely equipped to accomplish all of these initiatives. That's why we are working to inspire local churches to action and resourcing them for this work.

What we do:

  • We recruit foster/adoptive families.

  • We find and develop support for foster/adoptive families.

  • We directly advocate for kids waiting for adoption.

  • We serve vulnerable kids and families.

How we do it:

  • Help local churches build culture and initiatives that serve vulnerable kids and families.

  • Resource churches and their families to be successful in ministering.

  • Recruit more churches to get involved.

Teams Are Mobilized

Families Are Resourced
