The FaithBridge ministry approach is a proven one, allowing you
to directly impact your community's foster care crisis without
shouldering the administrative and legal burdens of running a child
placement agency.
Is a foster care ministry right for your church? Obviously, it's a
question that only your church can answer. Some churches who hear
the statistics
about foster care immediately want to take action. Others require a
period of prayer and contemplation. As you evaluate the appropriate
path for your church, consider the benefits FaithBridge provides
you and your congregation.
Church Families
Individuals who hear about the foster care crisis are deeply
touched and long to get involved. However, they often hold back
because of their concerns about the level of support they will
receive. They are afraid of being overwhelmed by the experience and
having nowhere to turn. By creating a foster care ministry based on
our Community of
CareSM model, you enable these caring individuals to
follow God's call and to open up their hearts and homes to children
in need. In those situations where adoption becomes an option,
interested families may be able to bring a child into their home
permanently.
Church
Many churches who have partnered with FaithBridge have
discovered that creating a foster care ministry has strengthened
the bond between the church and its church members. The Community
of CareSM model relies on the assistance of many
different volunteers, creating a network of individuals committed
both to their role in the ministry and their larger role as
Christ's servants.
