FOSTER, ADOPT, & KINSHIP MINISTRY
Foster, Adopt, & Kinship Ministry (FAM)
The Great Oaks Foster & Adopt Ministry believes that we are called to step into the foster care crisis with love and radical hospitality. There are many ways we can serve children and families involved in or impacted by the foster care system.
Support Group
First Saturday | 3 PM
The Great Oaks Foster, Adopt, & Kinship Ministry is committed to encouraging and empowering families who have adopted, are fostering, or are in a kinship situation. Our support group meets every first Saturday of the month at 3 pm in the Discovery Room.
Our support group is currently going through the One Happy Home curriculum for learning and discussion purposes.
Childcare is provided, so make sure to register and come prepared to support AND be supported!
