Join us in the Living room Tuesday May 27th at 6pm! Whether you’d like to connect with other families who have fostered or adopted, or you’re considering this and would love to know more about it, we’d love to have you join us. A couple of GBC families will share their experiences with fostering or adopting, and we’ll share ways that our church is seeking to cultivate and support even more foster and adoptive families within our body. 

RSVP Required

We desire to glorify god by transforming the lives of orphans and by providing support for adoptive and foster parents. 

SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES

If you feel called to either pursue adoption or serve as foster parents, we would love to help you move forward in the process! We have several resources and experienced families with whom we can connect you. There are also support groups we can put you in touch with. We can also provide recommendations on foster placement and adoption agencies that have worked with other GBC families. Please contact Wes Carpenter for more information.

SERVING FOSTER FAMILIES with BABYSITTING

Families that provide foster care do not have the same flexibility that most have with child care – they must have someone qualified through their foster care agency to provide babysitting supervision. A great way to serve these fostering families is by becoming a certified foster babysitter. If you’d like to connect with a GBC fostering family to help them out, please contact Wes Carpenter.

ADOPTION FUND  

The Goal of Adoption Financing is to glorify God by helping to overcome the financial obstacles of pursuing adoption. GBC partnered with LifeSong for Orphans to help administer the adoption fund and qualify individuals to receive grants and loans from the GBC fund.

The fund has been set up to provide two options for financial assistance – matching grants or interest-free loans – which will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

If you would like more information or if you are interested in giving to the fund, please contact Duane Kelley.
