Making a Difference Together
Why Foster Care Ministry Matters
Foster care is a critical need in our community. Children enter foster care through no fault of their own, often experiencing trauma and upheaval. Foster families step up to provide stability, love, and care during difficult times.
Our ministry recognizes that foster families face unique challenges and need strong community support. By coming alongside these families, we help ensure they can continue to open their hearts and homes to children in need.
Every child deserves to feel loved, safe, and valued. Through our Foster Care Ministry, we demonstrate Christ's love in practical ways, showing foster children that they matter and that our church community cares about them.
Did You Know?
There are thousands of children in foster care across our state, with many local families serving as foster parents. Your support through our Foster Care Ministry helps strengthen these families and provides hope to vulnerable children in our own community.
