Foster Care At Vintage 242
“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless. Plead the case of the widow.” Isaiah 1:17
With a mission centered on pursuing Jesus, discipleship and growth, and loving our neighbor, we partner with God to bring restoration and transformation to our community. As we take seriously the place in which we live, and the foster care crisis, we’re propelled to love children as our neighbors and provide for their needs.
At Vintage 242 Church, we believe that there are at-risk families in our area that desire for their homes to be stable and loving. Yet, under the weight of difficult circumstances, their children are in the custody of the state. With the number of children waiting on the rise, Vintage 242 extended its vision of community transformation in 2014 through partnership with FaithBridge Foster Care Organization. Vintage began a partnership with Winshape Foster Care in 2018.
Using a small group model called “Community of Care,” foster families, foster children, and trained volunteers are surrounded by resources and support, both emotional and spiritual, which serve as a framework for stability as families welcome children into their homes.
With a desire to cultivate hope, families at Vintage 242 are standing in the gap, serving as foster parents, providing respite care, babysitting, helping with transportation and meals, as well as coaching and mentoring children and birth families.
