“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families”.
-Psalm 68:5-6a
FAMILY ADVOCACY WOVEN
Woven ministry answers God’s call to care for orphans by supporting youth and families impacted by foster care and adoption. We show God’s love to vulnerable children by meeting basic needs, assisting young adults who have aged out of the foster care system, surrounding families with care communities, and offering financial grants to those in the adoption process. We also create fellowship opportunities for foster and adoptive families.
Care Communities
Care Communities are team of 4-8 volunteers who provide practical and relational support to families involved in child welfare in some capacity. Teams consist of family helpers bringing a meal once a month, a child mentor assisting with childcare monthly so parents can invest in their marriage, a team leader and other supportive roles.
Care Portal
Care Portal allows local agencies serving vulnerable children to connect families directly with local churches. When you join the Response Team, you’re given opportunities to meet physical needs, like dropping off a box of diapers or a bag of groceries, while showing the love of Christ to people who don’t have community and connecting them to our church.
Fellowship
We provide contexts where foster and adoptive families connect and encourage one another, including picnics, movie nights, and trauma-informed training.
Don’t Go Alone
Interested in becoming a mentor to vulnerable youth ages 18-24? Project Belong: Don’t Go Alone mentorship provides an opportunity to walk alongside a young adult aging out of foster care to navigate life’s challenges and achieve their full potential. Mentorship can facilitate a lifelong relationship built on safety, security, and connectedness. Your partnership may include fulfilling spiritual, emotional or physical needs by filling the role as an honorary family member. Your support may include offering advice on employment, vehicle maintenance, relationship advice or just spending meaningful time with youth in need of a loving, supportive and trustworthy adult. Your involvement can make a profound difference, fostering resilience and empowering the next generation to succeed. Join us in creating a brighter future, one mentorship at a time.
ADOPTING? ADOPTION GRANT
We know that adoption is a beautiful, yet expensive venture. Remember that our God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He will provide. If you have a complete homestudy and are in the process of adopting, you can apply for a grant. We want to help you through the adoption process.
