How Your Church Can Help
We believe churches are uniquely equipped to help provide the wrap-around support, training, spiritual guidance, and pastoral care these children and foster families desperately need, which is why we partner with churches across Florida to help build and support foster care ministries.
- Recruit & Support Foster Families
- Train Family Support Volunteers
Why churches
It takes compassion, courage, and determination to be a foster parent, and even when a foster family or kinship placement is found for a child, the family is often under-equipped and under-supported for the challenging work of foster care ministry, which leads to burnout.
At Fostering Our Future, we know it takes a village to care for and support vulnerable children and the families who care for them.
- Call on your congregation and network
- Identify interested families and volunteers
- Provide families and volunteers with training and support
The program
How Fostering Our Future Helps You Set-Up & Maintain a Foster Care Ministry
Fostering Our Future has created a faith community-based program to help churches recruit and train foster families and family support volunteers. Through our program, we equip ministry teams with the tools, training, resources, and processes they need to set up and maintain a foster care outreach and support program as a compassion ministry of their church.
