“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 (NLT)
Foster Care can often be so challenging, we aren’t sure how we can go on doing it. At this year’s Institute we will claim the promise of Philippians 4:19 that we are called to do this work, we are carried by a caring God, and we are capable because He has equipped us.
Please join us for a day filled with community, worship, sound teaching, and some special treats! Earn up to 7 CEs, meet other foster parents and hear from industry experts.
What others are saying. Here is some feedback from our 2025 Institute:
- “Always love the speakers and time to connect with other foster parents.”
- “We always enjoy the encouragement and inspiration of the Institute.”
- “Really supportive and enjoyable day; recommend to all foster or respite families.”
