Where to start?
1. Encounter
If you’re new to foster care, sign up for an Encounter.
Our two-hour information session will introduce you to the need for, and the ways to be involved with Christian foster care. You will learn about the licensing process while considering the call God is putting on your life to care for children in their greatest time of need. This is where everyone starts the journey of becoming foster or respite parents. Sign up for an event near you today!
2. Foundations
Already attended an Encounter? Sign up for Foundations.
This multi-day training is for foster and respite families and meets the state-mandated requirement for approval and licensing. You will receive in-depth foster care training and spiritual lessons that will help prepare you for the fostering journey. If you are going through the process to become a FaithBridge foster or respite family, this training is for you AFTER you have attended an Encounter.
3. Advanced Training for CEs
All FaithBridge licensed foster parents and respite parents have exclusive access to FaithBridgeU, our online learning center where you can find both live and on-demand training webinars as well as information about in-person training and how to upload CEs from external training. Non-FaithBridge individuals may subscribe to FaithBridgeU for an annual fee.
