Foster care & Adoption Ministry

Updates from the Foster care & Adoption Ministry.

  1. Panel – Sisters in Battle Ministry

    You’re Invited! Get To Know SIB Panel — September 21st

    After church on Sunday, September 21st, we invite you to come upstairs for a powerful time of testimony and encouragement hosted by Sisters in Battle (SIB) – a sister ministry of FAM.

    Grab a plate from the Smiles & Stories event happening downstairs, then bring it with you upstairs to hear directly from SIB participants as they share how God has been moving in and through this ministry.

    🕊️ Expect a time of:

    • Honest stories of hope, healing, and transformation
    • Celebration of what God is doing in the lives of women at Hope
    • Learning how SIB and FAM want to serve side by side to encourage families in the rebuilding phase of life 

    Location: Upstairs (grab a plate downstairs!)
    Time: Right after service

    Come be part of what God is doing—this is more than an event; it’s a movement of spiritual battle in the name of Jesus.

    We’d love to see you there! (although SIB primarily serves women – we’d love for men and women of all ages to come hear testimonies)

  2. The MomCo@Hope Fall 2025 Registration is Now Open

    Dear Mama,

    In a world that values polish over vulnerability, we at The MomCo@Hope are reclaiming the power of awkwardness. Why? Because awkward is authentic and charming and it’s a breath of fresh air.  Moms self-report loneliness in staggeringly high numbers, probably because they feel no one truly knows the truest version of themselves. And there’s one way to make that happen—by getting awkward.

    So join us this fall as we get honest, authentic, and yes, a bit awkward.

    We’re saving a seat for you. Register here.

  4. Women of Hope Books & Breakfast Starts September 4th!

    Come join the Women of Hope for Thursday breakfast & studying the book of Proverbs. In this 8-session Bible study, six beloved Bible teachers invite you to place your feet firmly on the path of life revealed in the book of Proverbs. As you consider wisdom principles on everyday topics like words, work, friendship, marriage, parenting, neighborliness, money management, leadership influence, and more, you’ll discover the wisdom of Proverbs as an invitation to steadily walk God’s way in God’s world.

    Dates: Thursdays, September 4th – October 23rd

    Time: 9:30am – 11:30am

    Location: Upstairs Den, Hope Chapel

  6. FAM Lemonade Stand!

    Our annual lemonade stand is back! We’ll be set up during the first Summer Fun Night

    June 11 – Stand opens at 5pm

    Proceeds benefit our local non profit friend, Foster Village.

    Foster Village provides practical resources and support to foster and reunified families in Austin.

    We hope to see you there!

    If you are interested in manning the stand with FAM please reach out to Mandy! 

    It’s a really fun activity for a family to do together or for adults without kiddos to sit back and hang out. Anyone is welcome! Additionally, if you’d like to provide resources for us – donating lemonade/snacks/etc – we’d love that kind of help too!

    Come spend time with us and hang out with the FAM!
