Vision

The Foster and Adoption Ministry (FAM) at CCC seeks to be a group of disciples that embodies the heart of Christ through obedience to the call and command He has given us, in his word, through stepping into foster care and adoption. (Mark 9:37, James 1:27).

By calling the Church to step into brokenness as Christ has stepped into ours.
By serving vulnerable children and their families.
By sharing the goodness of Jesus with children, families, and the world.

Mission

As a ministry, we seek to engage, equip, and encourage our congregation to be obedient disciples in all stages of kinship, fostering, adopting, and to support one another along the way.

FAM Fellowship

This ministry is for establishing a welcoming, encouraging and supportive circle for foster and adoptive families. They can discuss issues, find community and connect to resources for their unique needs. FAM Fellowship will continue as an ongoing community to meet the needs of foster/adoptive families and as an invitation for the larger church community to come alongside in support.

FAM Fellowship meets every 4th Sunday of the month (Jan-Oct) from 5:00–7:00pm in the Multipurpose Room.

This is FREE to attend. However, if you have children aged 6 weeks thru 12th Grade attending with you, we need their registration for the planned children’s programming portion of our night. Please use the “Register” button to sign up each child or student individually. You will only need to register each child or student one time for the school year (June – May).

FAM Fellowship Volunteer Opportunity

If you are passionate about building relationships with children and serving the foster adoptive families in our local community, please join our Foster and Adoption Ministry serve team.

We invite you to step into this role to help us provide a safe and loving environment for children & youth that are birth-12th grade, so families can use this time to receive training and support from one another.
