Every child belongs in a family.

That’s why we help kids in and around foster care find and keep the families they need to thrive.

We mobilize local churches to make it happen.

We partner with local churches to recruit foster and adoptive families, find families for kids waiting to be adopted, strengthen foster and adoptive families, and help stabilize vulnerable families at risk of disruption.

Find Families

We recruit new foster and adoptive families and advocate for kids waiting to find their forever family.

Strengthen Families

We surround foster and adoptive families with the support, encouragement, and resources they need to thrive.

Preserve Families

We help vulnerable families overcome challenges and stay safely together, keeping kids out of foster care whenever possible.

Faith in Action.

  • Over the last two years we have seen our people become educated and trained about how they can minister to foster and adoptive families. We have also advocated for two teenagers who gained their forever families. This is an amazing organization!
