Ministry
Every child deserves a safe home. There is a role for everyone — and it starts here.
Why We're Involved
Every day, children in our county are removed from their families due to accusations of abuse or neglect. In an instant, they are taken from everything familiar and placed into foster care — and many have no family willing to take them in.
Yet God loves every one of these precious children made in His image. We believe our church is called to love and care for them — and we would love for you to get involved.

"Pure and undefiled religion before God is this: to care for orphans and widows."

Get Involved
Foster the City walks alongside current and prospective foster families — guiding you through licensing, placement, and the day-to-day realities of caring for a child in need. You don't have to navigate it alone.
