Your Church Can Be a Child’s Sanctuary
Our Foster Care Program at WinShape Homes goes above and beyond to shepherd your church congregation through the process.

Free IMPACT/foster and respite pre-training
Reimbursement for drug screens, CPR/First Aid, and water safety training
Free continuing education classes from WinShape Homes trainers and external facilitators
24-hour access to a WinShape Homes Case Manager
Monthly support for extracurricular activities
A wrap-around community that gives constant support for the foster families
We partner with churches because we know we can’t meet this need on our own. With the church, we can partner with families who share our Christian values and minister to the children in an effective way. Secondly, the organic community and support that can be built in a church is a powerful resource to foster families.
When Brian and Lindsey Fox decided to become foster parents, they couldn’t have imagined the plan God had in store. Turns out, it was so much better than their own.keep reading
Hear From Our Families
“The first thought that goes through my mind now is, ‘No, you can’t do it, because you can’t do it on your own,' but you can do it with the Lord. It is possible.”
“This is not us; it’s about Jesus... It’s what He cares about, and it’s how we live out our faith. It’s a way to tangibly live out our belief that we are called to care for foster children."
"I feel indescribable fullness in caring for these children."
