As the church, we all have different roles to play in caring for vulnerable children. Many of our support programs are completely run by volunteers. Would you consider committing to serving fostering and adoptive families in one of these ways?

As our Foster & Adopt ministry grows across our campuses, we are grateful for the opportunities God has provided to care for vulnerable children. We desire to engage with Foster & Adopt families personally and regularly throughout their journey. Each campus has a Foster & Adopt Champion that connects with families and coordinates support when they need it most.
You could join them by providing meals, shopping for new additions, praying for a Foster & Adopt family, or offering babysitting. Some members use their specialized skills or hobbies to provide free haircuts, birthday cakes, legal advice, freezer meals, photography, and much more.

In advocating for an abused or neglected child, a guardian ad litem gives a child a voice and a chance for a better life. Serving as a Guardian ad litem can have a tremendous impact on a child’s life, but it also requires an investment of time and energy. We want to come alongside our members who are interested in or currently serving as a Guardian ad litem to offer support, encouragement and community. To find out more, scroll down and let us know of your interest.
Serving as a Guardian ad litem
We provide various necessary items to adoptive, foster care, and kinship care families. The Resource Center is staffed entirely by volunteers and we would love to have you join our team!
We are in need of dedicated people to help receive donations, sort, and organize donations (during and outside of operating hours), and help distribute items to families who come to shop.
Families Count is a seven-week, biblically-based parent education program that is designed to meet the standards for state-approved parent education programs. Through Families Count, members at Grace Church are positioned to meet, mentor, and care for biological parents who are working to fulfill a court-mandated plan for reunification or parents who the court deems at-risk for a court-ordered disruption. Our goal is to prayerfully provide support, guidance, and show mercy to parents who either have been separated from, or who are at risk of being separated from their children. Grace members serve Families Count participants as mentors for the full seven weeks, by providing transportation if necessary, and by providing meals for each class.

Families Count is a seven-week biblically based parenting class for parents who are working to fulfill a court-mandated plan for reunification or parents who the court deems at-risk for a court-ordered disruption.
We ask mentors to attend the first week of the class, and the last week of the class. We also ask mentors to meet with their mentee at least once a week face-to-face to encourage them and discuss the class material. Our goal is that ultimately this short term mentorship will develop into a long term friendship of learning and growing in community together.
Mentors must be covenant members of Grace Church, and have the capacity to meet at least once a week, face-to-face, for seven consecutive weeks.
