North Point Community Church Announces a Partnership with FaithBridge Foster Care

Public Invited to Attend Launch

Alpharetta, GA - August 23, 2010 - North Point Community Church will announce its new partnership with FaithBridge Foster Care on August 29, 2010 during their Sunday morning services. Together with FaithBridge, the church will be recruiting and equipping foster parents and volunteers. The public is always welcome to attend North Point Community Church, especially for the launch on August 29. Services are at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 12:45 p.m., and are located at 4350 North Point Parkway in Alpharetta.

  "FaithBridge is a remarkable organization making a big difference in the foster care system. We are excited to partner with them, lending our resources to help them go further faster," said North Point Community Church Pastor Andy Stanley.

There are more than 10,000 Georgia children in foster care and 880* in Fulton County alone. Yet, there are approximately half of the necessary foster families to serve them. FaithBridge Foster Care is a Christ-centered, tax-exempt organization intent on changing this reality. With more than 14 church partners in north Georgia and the greater Atlanta area, FaithBridge's strategy is to mobilize, organize, equip and release local churches and communities to solve the country's foster care crisis.
