Making Fostering Possible

CHRIST-CENTERED PRIVATE FOSTER CARE

We foster the load,

so you can foster the child.

Considering the ministry of foster care? We provide missional families with the option to welcome vulnerable children through private foster care.

As you begin your journey in the ministry of foster care, there are two pathways to choose from: private foster care and state-administered foster care.

Private foster care offers a personalized approach and a unique level of care. Families engaged in private foster care benefit from individualized services, smaller caseload ratios, and a trusted casework team.

What is the Connected Foster Care difference?

OUR CHAMPIONS...

Equip you with training and personal support through your entire journey so that your tangible needs are met.
OUR COACHES...

Conduct all licensing requirements on your fostering journey, while walking with your family through challenges that arise.
OUR CASEWORKERS...

SO THAT YOU...

Can focus on what matters most: building a relationship with the child.

We understand the weight of fostering. That's why we offer a unique solution through private foster care that’s tailored to your needs.

Choosing the private foster care route equips you with a casework team that not only reflects your compassion and purpose rooted in the Gospel but is also professionally trained to provide trauma-informed services.

We provide dedicated caseworkers with smaller caseloads, allowing them to shoulder the complexities and services while you focus on what truly matters - providing love and care to a child in need.

Because every child deserves to experience hope, healing, and belonging.

Testimonial

“One of the greatest benefits about Connected Foster Care is that it's a family atmosphere…the caseworkers and coaches, my kids know them by name and they see them a lot. They're in and out of our home. It's more of a relationship that my kids experience than a job that the caseworkers are doing. It's just exciting that they are happy to see their caseworker show up.”
