A Door of Hope
A Door of Hope is a Christ-centered foster care agency. We recruit, train, license, and support Christian families who desire to foster children who have been abused, neglected, and/or abandoned. Our vision is to see every child in foster care placed in a Christian home where that child can experience in both word and action the hope and love offered through the Gospel of Christ. Right now, in our community, there are not enough homes for the kids who come into foster care, and we believe the church is the solution to that problem.
CarePortal
CarePortal is a free ministry platform that connects churches to children and families in crisis in our community. We partner with children and adult serving professionals who identify legitimate needs in the community and are trained to enter those needs into CarePortal. These become highly vetted requests that come to churches closest to the family in need, giving the churches the opportunity to answer and meet those needs with the goal of developing relationships with these families and individuals so they can minister to them on a deeper level.
