A Christ-centered, tax-exempt organization intent on
changing the way America does foster care,
FaithBridge Foster Care works with the local church to solve its
community's foster care crisis. FaithBridge partners with local
churches to create independent, church-led foster care ministries
around a small group model, called the Community of
CareSM, which provides Christian foster families with
unparalleled support and resources. This relationship-enhanced
model scales to create local foster family capacity with built-in
stability and quality, bringing children and families together in a
safe, loving community.
Why "FaithBridge"?
Our name is derived from our business model, whereby the faith
community bridges the gap between a large societal crisis and
individuals in need. The bridges we build are relational, economic
and emotional.
Relationally, we connect all the parties in the foster care
system--county and state government, biological and foster
families, healthcare workers, community service providers and
others.
Economically, we work to bridge investors with a proven business
model and strategy that aim to reframe the $8 billion foster care
crisis.
Emotionally, FaithBridge Foster Care's strategy and business
model help bring together an entire community of caring
individuals--professionals, pastors, layleaders and
volunteers--who surround children and families in loving, nurturing
relationships and who help bridge the emotional traumas often
caused by neglect, abuse or other challenges.
