Church Ministry

Dwell equips churches to create support systems for vulnerable children and the families who love them. We recognize the deep need for consistent and sincere love, hope, nurturing, and accountability
to help children in the foster system thrive.


ENGAGE YOUR CHURCH COMMUNITY!

Dwell partners with churches, encouraging them to step into the space of caring well
for vulnerable children and families. Churches have the opportunity to make an eternal
impact on a child and the families who open their homes through foster care. Through
a Family Advocacy Ministry (or FAM) churches demonstrate to foster, adoptive, and
kinship families that they are seen and heard. FAMS are church specific and church-led
and Dwell supports the church in that process.

Here are ways you and your church can help!

  • Collect items for Dwell care packages or the Hope Chest.

  • Invite Dwell to speak at your service or event.

  • Volunteer at a Dwell event and stay in touch through our newsletter and
    enter your contact info below.

  • Pray for our mission and ministry, the families we serve, and the children we
    fight for.

  • Give. Take up a special offering or add Dwell to your outreach mission and
    budget and make a lasting impact.

'Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.'  James 1:27
