About First Baptist Church of Woodstock Foster Care Ministry

Prior to 2007, First Baptist Woodstock did not have a formal foster care ministry, but members of the church were involved on an individual basis. In August of 2008, the church began its partnership with FaithBridge Foster Care, creating a formal, structured foster care ministry under the name First Baptist Church of Woodstock Foster Care Ministry.

Impact

The Mingonets discuss how the foster care ministry has impacted First Baptist Church Woodstock:
The foster care ministry provides a vehicle for many of our members to answer the biblical mandate to reach out to the abandoned, the neglected, the abused and the orphans. It has enabled our members to reach out in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and love children in need. It has provided another means for this body of Christians to be Chist-like right here in our county, and be relevant to the pressing needs in people's lives right here in the shadow of our steeple. This opportunity is not only opening doors to those that become foster families but it has also increased opportunities for people of various abilities and ministries to serve in areas such as home repair, transportation, medical, clothes closet, uncle and aunt, grandmother and granddad and a whole host of arms and legs, feet and hands that make up the local body of Christ.
