For Foster Parents by Foster Parents

What is the Foster Parent Support Group?
The Foster Parent Support Group is a safe and welcoming space for foster parents within our church and local community. It is intended to provide emotional, spiritual, and practical support as we navigate the joys and challenges of foster parenting together. Whether you are new to fostering or have been a foster parent for many years, this group is for you!
Topics of Discussion
During our monthly gatherings, we will cover a wide range of topics that are relevant to foster parenting. Some of the topics we plan to explore include dealing with grief and loss, trauma-informed care, advocating for foster children, self-care for foster parents, navigating relationships with birth families, and understanding the legal aspects of foster care. Feel free to suggest other topics you would like us to address!
Childcare and Refreshments
We understand that finding childcare can sometimes be a challenge, especially for foster parents. To support your participation in the group, we will provide free childcare during our meetings in the church nursery, and gymnasium. Additionally, light refreshments will be available for you to enjoy as we gather together.
How Can You Get Involved?
If you are a foster parent or are interested in becoming one, we encourage you to join our Foster Parent Support Group. Simply mark your calendars for our upcoming meetings and come with an open heart and a listening ear. This initiative aims to foster a sense of community, where we can grow together and provide strength and encouragement to one another.
Spread the Word
If you know someone who might be interested in joining our support group, please share this information with them. We believe that by spreading the word, we can reach more foster parents and offer them the support and love they deserve.
At Lighthouse Baptist Church, we stand committed to supporting foster parents in our congregation and community. Through our Foster Parent Support Group, we hope to be a shining light for those who are caring for vulnerable children.

Together, let us make a lasting impact in the lives of these precious children.
