Foster, adoptive, and kinship families are so important to us, and we have many tangible ways for our church body to get involved. God does not call all of us to foster or adopt, but we are all called to care for the vulnerable. Whether you are a foster, adoptive, or kinship family or want to learn more about serving families in our ministry, click the Learn More button below.

Right now there are over 2,000 children in Knox County with one or both parents incarcerated. Statistically, without intervention, 70% of them will end up incarcerated as adults.

Fellowship offers mentors from our church body to help fulfill this need for mentorship.
