Foster and Adoption Ministry

“The F.A.M.” Is on a mission to raise awareness and provide practical next steps for those sensing God’s call to “care for the orphans” (James 1:27). Whether you feel led to foster, adopt, support families, or simply learn more, The F.A.M. will help you explore your role in this life-changing ministry. Together, we can answer God’s call and make a lasting difference in the lives of children who need it most. Be watching for more information coming soon — your “yes” could change a child’s life and your family’s life forever.

The Helper of the Fatherless

Scripture shows our God is a tender Father, the “helper of the fatherless” (Psalms 10:14). As He pursued us, loved us, and made us His children, He calls us to do the same. James reminds us that pure religion is to visit orphans in their affliction (James 1:27), and Isaiah calls us to bring justice to the fatherless (Isaiah 1:17). God desires to set the lonely in families (Psalms 68:6). We reflect His welcome and mirror the DNA that is in every believer when we invite outsiders into Christ’s family and care for the most vulnerable among us. Orphan care is one powerful way to live out His love. We want to spread the word that there is a real need for the church to rise up and serve the Lord in this way.
