Churches
“Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.”
– Psalm 82:3
We ENCOURAGE you where you are already serving, and in praying for new ways to minister!
Your ministry in the community is already making a difference. Working with families in crisis is making the connections between a child and finding a stable home. The Church Engagement team is your biggest cheerleader as you bring the gospel into crisis!
We EQUIP you and your church family to wrap around your foster and adopting families to be that connection between just surviving and becoming a thriving family!
We help you find your place on the path, and equip you with the resources you’ll need to make a difference.
How We Help You
- Trauma-informed training based on the TBRI strategies from Drs. Karyn Purvis and David Cross from the TCU Institute of Child Development for ministry leaders and families.
- Connection and networking with fellow churches who partner with The Fostering Collective.
- Access to events and activities with other organizations partnered with TFC.
- Access to resources and consultations for fostering and wrap around families in your congregation.
- Supportive fostering-specific guidance, training, and mentoring from our experienced, trained staff.
We help you to now ENGAGE families who are called to foster and adopt. Partnering with them as they bring hope to children!
This involves helping members of your church who feel called to adopt, foster, or support active families – not to mention connecting them with resources and Biblical guidance they desperately need. Child Protective Services, fostering agencies, and various other organizations are excited about partnering with your church to help children get adopted and families get the support they need!
