Online Foster Parent Training - Christian Heritage (11-Weeks)

6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

A child never outgrows the need for family. And that's what foster care is all about--Inviting a child who needs to feel safe and loved into your wonderfully messy family. You can open your home and share the love of Christ with a child who feels that they are forgotten. There's a lot to learn and we will be there every step of the way. We will spend 11 weeks helping you identify if foster care is right for you and, if it is, prepare you to care for children from hard places. It's not easy. For many families, foster care ranks pretty high up there as one of the most difficult adventures they have experienced. However, it will likely be one of the most rewarding experiences too. If you are feeling God tug on your heart to get involved in some way, this might be the right time to learn what foster care is all about. Due to COVID-19, training this fall will be offered online from 6pm-9pm beginning October 5th. Registration is required and there is a limit to how many families can attend this training. If interested, please complete the online form below.
