Foster Care
There are many ways to support vulnerable families and children within our church and community. From responding to CarePortal requests, providing respite care, or stepping into foster parenting, everyone can do something to make a lasting impact.

Safe Families
In partnership with local churches, volunteers, and community organizations, Safe Families provides short-term support so children can remain safe while parents work toward stability. Opportunities to serve include:
Host Family | Open your home to children for a short season while building friendship and support with their parents.
Family Coach | Walk alongside families in crisis and help connect them with resources.
Family Friend | Strengthen families through practical support like mentoring, transportation, babysitting, providing meals, or cleaning homes.
Become a CASA Volunteer
CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. Volunteers walk alongside children in foster care, making sure their voice is heard and their best interests are represented in court.
Offer respite care to our current foster families.
Consider/pray about fostering or adopting.
