We are thrilled you are eager to begin the ministry of foster care. It is a joy to know you desire to affect so many vulnerable children and their birth families with the gospel. We are honored you have chosen Lifeline to help you reach this goal of fostering.
When we enter into a relationship with you, we are here to support, pray over, encourage, and equip you during each phase of your journey.
As God has called you to this ministry, we want to be your full-service, ongoing partner to enable you to fulfill His calling of family restoration.
Join an orientation class to learn about foster care. Orientation is required and is a great way to learn more about foster care before you commit to the classes. Get started today by scrolling to the bottom of the page to view upcoming classes at a church near you.
Take part in the state mandated 10-week course on foster care.
You'll receive one home study visit during the TIPS class and one at the end.
Once TIPS training and your home study process are complete, we will submit your file to DHR for licensure.
After you are approved from the state, the next step is to wait until you are placed with a child who needs your care and love of Christ.
