Embrace: Foster Care and Adoption

Supporting children and families through foster care and adoption.

Supporting Children and Families

Believing that our care for the vulnerable reflects our spiritual adoption in Christ, we exist to create a culture that values every child and family—birth, foster, and adoptive parents alike—where every child has a home and every family has the support structure they need. Embrace does this through relationships, support, and advocacy.

Embrace builds relationships.

We seek to create a community, connecting those interested in pursuing fostering and/or adopting with pastoral care at the campus level, others who have fostered and/or adopted, and partner agencies, as we care for vulnerable children and their families together.

Embrace supports families.

We work alongside partner agencies to provide respite care, education and training, as well as support groups and cohorts for those fostering and/or adopting as families navigate trauma-informed care and other unique situations.

Embrace advocates for the vulnerable.

We help to grow churchwide awareness of the importance of foster care and adoption and promote opportunities for our church family to support and care for foster, adoptive, and birth parents.
