Become a Foster Parent

The Need is Great in Our Community

  • Every day children are removed from their homes.

  • Abuse, abandonment and neglect are the main reasons for removal.

  • There is a severe shortage of foster homes to take in these children.

Our Vision…

Our vision, “A Home for Every Child in Crisis,” is made possible through families prayerfully stepping out in faith to provide Hope for these children!

We do this by recruiting, training, licensing, and supporting Christian foster families!

We invite you to take the first step by attending our next foster parent info session.  Sign up today!

 COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT FOSTER CARE

  • Your first step to learning more about fostering with zero obligation is attending one of our Information Sessions which are held online and in person. During this session, we will give more insight into what the foster care crisis looks like in our community. We will also help you understand what this calling entails both from a physical/emotional aspect as well as a spiritual aspect.

    There is no cost and no obligation – it is simply the first step in your journey to discover more about Biblical foster care.

Why the Brewers Foster

Mica and Sarah Brewer tell their story about how the Holy Spirit drew them to this ministry. Both relay how God’s plan and purpose are revealed for each child and their parents as the Brewers love and care for each one of them.

Why A Door of Hope?

Why do Jill and Chuck Ammon foster with A Door of Hope? "We want to see revival in our country, and in our state, and in our backyard... thousands of children need a place to call home…a place where they are going to be loved.."

We Support Our Families

For us support is the heartbeat of our ministry. Our families are missionaries in our community. Support is what keeps them going. We believe that God has blessed us as a ministry because of the support that we give our families.

The Need is Great

THE NEED is great in our community for foster homes. Every day kids are being removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. There are not enough homes for the amount of kids who come into care. Be the solution. Your foster care journey begins by attending an info session.
