Our Mission

Our ministry exists to educate, encourage, and support families as they consider and pursue international or domestic adoption and foster care. While our desire is for biological families to stay together, we recognize that is not always possible, so our ministry’s goal is to support the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of families that have welcomed children into their homes. We advocate for the fatherless, bring awareness to the Church and take action for the glory of Jesus Christ.

Connecting Opportunities

Gatherings

Our gatherings are intended as a time of training, equipping, and connecting for parents or caregivers of kids from hard places. We share a meal together, fellowship, and learn from speakers who have understandings of trauma, and share how the gospel brings healing and redemption into hard places.

Small Groups
