Called to Care: Love with Open Hands

Sensing a tug on your heart to open your home? Foster care is holy, practical, and stretching. It asks you to welcome a child’s whole story—hurt and hope together and to offer steady love while we work toward the best long-term plan for that child.

Anchored in Christ, Open to a Child

  • You become a safe anchor. Many children arrive after upheaval—an emergency or a history that required intervention. Your steadiness helps their bodies and minds exhale.

  • You practice courageous compassion. Trauma can show up as fear, anger, or retreat. We’ll equip you with tools to respond with connection and structure.

  • You model healthy relationships. Mealtimes, bedtime routines, shared prayers—small rhythms teach belonging more than any lecture ever could.

  • You love with open hands. Goodbyes may come. Grief is real, and we walk with you through it. The time you invest is never wasted—healthy attachment leaves a permanent mark for good.
