A community of churches committed to serving vulnerable children and families

Whether you’re part of a birth family, a foster or adoptive family, or someone who wants to make a difference, there is a place for you here.

We walk alongside:

Every child deserves to feel safe and loved. Every family matters, and no act of kindness is too small.

We invite you to explore, ask questions, and take the next step when you're ready. Whether you're here for support or to serve, this community has a place for you.

Together, we can reflect God’s love by caring for children and families.

Meet Kristina: A Trusted Guide on the Journey

Considering adoption or foster care can feel both exciting and overwhelming, but you don’t have to walk this road alone. Kristina has walked it herself. She and her husband have been foster parents, and their story is full of honesty, faith, and hope.

In this 38-minute conversation, you'll get to hear their journey—the joys, the challenges, and the ways God met them along the way. Whether you’re just beginning to explore or already sensing a call, this is an opportunity to meet the person who’s here to support you with prayer, encouragement, and next steps.

We invite you to watch, listen, and reach out. Kristina would love to connect with you.

We are so excited to invite you to join us for our Annual Dinner at the Abernethy Center!

Dress up and join us for an evening of delicious catered food, wonderful company, and a chance to connect with other families who have opened their homes through foster care or adoption. This special night is our way of saying thank you—a reminder that your commitment and care do not go unnoticed.

This event is made possible through the generosity of donors who want to celebrate and support families like yours.
