There are 8,000 children in the foster care system in Tennessee, and 4,500 children in Mississippi. Many are waiting for their forever family, while others need a loving, safe, and supportive foster family to care for them until they can go home to their biological families.
Our hope is to actively participate in the historic mission of The Church while making a gospel impact on kids, as well as fostering, adoptive, and biological parents. We have a team of Living Hope Family Members who have personal and professional experience with the foster and adoption system. These friends serve our church by helping shape and lead this ministry initiative. We are committed to using our funds and our time to serve foster families, help adoptive families with the enormous expense associated with adoption, and encourage the church to serve foster and adoptive families in very tangible ways.
adoptive & foster families
If you are an adoptive or foster parent, we would love to know how we can best serve you. Please click the button below and take a minute to answer a few questions so we can get to know your family and best meet your needs:
WRAP teams
One of the ways you can serve is by starting or joining a WRAP team. WRAP is a tool that mobilizes local faith communities to help adoptive and foster children and the families who care for them. When foster, adoptive, kinship, birth, and at-risk families have WRAP Around care, they are given the support they need to thrive. From dropping off a meal or mowing a lawn to helping with carpooling or providing respite care, there are countless ways to make an impact.

For consideration, applicants must meet certain criteria, including association with a qualified adoption agency or consultant and covenant membership at Living Hope, as well as completion of a home study and marriage assessment.
