The  Father’s  Heart . . . . .

The Adoption and Foster Care Ministry at Grace Covenant Church  

 What is The  Father’s  Heart  for children ? 

It’s Outrageous Love! John 3:16 tells us that He loved us so much that He would send His Son to die so that we might have the opportunity to live forever in His family. Many children in the world today need a forever family… a place where they can experience the Father’s Heart, His outrageous love for each of them. Yet in the Lake Norman community alone thousands of children are currently a part of the foster care system; hundreds have been legally released by their parents to be adopted. But who will love them? Whose responsibility is it to care for these children, all children who find themselves in less than desirable circumstances in this life?

In  response to His Love,  The  Father’s  Heart  is : 

An adoption and foster care ministry at Grace Covenant Church founded on James 1: 27:“Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans…” (NLT) At Grace Covenant Church, we are dedicated to fulfilling God’s directive. 

What is the mission of  The Father’s  Heart ? 

Our mission is simple: to bring hope and help to children through foster care and adoption

What is the purpose of  The  Father’s  Heart ? 

Our purpose is this: to engage, educate and support those involved in foster care and adoption

How do we engage, educate, and support  The  Father’s  Heart ? 

Our goal is to make participation in adoption and foster care accessible to every family in as many ways, shapes, or forms as we can. Whether your family seeks to adopt, foster, or support other families who do, our goal is to provide the framework for connecting both public and private agencies, to host ongoing teaching and training opportunities, and to  offer ongoing love, support, and care for both the families involved and the children God sends to us as part of our earthly mandate from The  Father’s  Heart . . .
