As Christians we have a unique privilege to be the ones, as Jesus encouraged, to care for the orphan.
Hope Chapel’s mission includes the call to “build strong families.” We know families provide important space for healing for children from hard places. Truly, “God has placed the lonely in families…” – Psalm 68:6
The mission to care for a child isn’t always easy. We welcome everyone to find their role within our ministry to support these families in our congregation. Or maybe your home is one providing for a child from a foster, adoptive or other vulnerable background – we want to be the body of Christ around you.
Join us!
On Jan 3rd Hope Chapel’s childcare and Sunday School workers are invited to learn tools from Sara Combs, MA, LPC and Cindy Martin, OT about ways to interact with all of our Hope kids in the spirit of TBRI and relational connection.
Join us for dinner and great conversation.

During Family Night in the Fall FAM is hosting a book study on Jason Johnson’s book, “ReFraming Foster Care.”
This book study is great for those who feel a pull towards engaging with vulnerable children and families, either through foster care/adoption, becoming a CASA, working in child welfare services or just by understanding more about the challenges vulnerable children in our community face.
More information about the book can be found here
