A step-by-step path to support and connection
Start the conversation
Youth or caring adults complete a short form. You listen and pray with them.
Matching + introductions
Learn strengths, needs, schedules, and location. Introduce a potential host family and set a first meeting.
Pilot period (6–12 weeks)
Build trust through regular planned time: meals, church, projects, sports, study, prayer. You check in, coach, and adjust.
Ongoing family rhythm
If there’s peace on both sides, continue with a simple covenant of expectations reviewed quarterly.
Support & growth
Provide resources, training, conflict coaching, and referrals. Churches and community partners surround each match with prayer and practical help.
Notes: Not legal guardianship or adoption. Live-in is rare and only considered after trust, pastoral oversight, and legal counsel.
