Mentoring is an opportunity for the church to serve the foster children and teens in our community. It’s a chance to serve and empower youth in need and offer them real hope and life change through relationship and our faith in Jesus Christ.

The mentoring ministry currently serves children and teens in foster care, group homes and wrap-around programs. A youth in foster care is one who has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. While we serve many different populations, they all have a common need for caring adults to model healthy relationships, be a voice of encouragement and to share the love of God. A mentor’s role is to serve as a friend, supporter, encourager as well as teammate. Most of the people we serve through the mentoring ministry have never experienced a healthy relationship, a supportive network, or had someone come along side to celebrate in their triumphs or lend a hand during their challenges. A mentoring relationship can bridge isolation, break down barriers and offer healing by introducing God’s love to them.

Within the Mentoring ministry there is a network that supports each of the mentors. This includes training to help better equip and understand the mentoring role, planned events to assist in relationship building, resources to aid in providing solutions, and supervision to guide, encourage and affirm the efforts of our mentors.
