“Look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” – James 1:27
Our Core Values
-
Family
We enrich children’s lives by breaking the generational cycles of abuse and neglect. Our network of foster parents teach through their actions what a healthy and stable family can look like.
-
Honesty and Integrity
We commit to the highest standards of conduct and ethical practice in all of our endeavors.
-
Excellence
We proactively examine our performance and strive to improve in a never-ending quest to continually raise our programs to a new level of excellence.
-
Christ-Centered
We work to equip children spiritually, emotionally, academically and physically to reach their God-given potential.
“Let this home, Oh Lord, be a safe place for them, a stable shelter in the midst of chaos.”
Lauren & Austin Barrett, one of our campus foster parents, share a prayer that reminds them of their call to be foster parents. They aim to provide stability and love and peace in times of chaos and hurt.
