We engage churches through two primary pathways:
🔹 Small Group First (Grassroots)
Since 2015, every Embrace Family church connection has started with a small group.
These groups are designed to support current foster, adoptive, and respite families—as well as those exploring involvement. Group participants often come from the host church and surrounding communities, creating a rich and diverse circle of shared experience and encouragement.
🔹 Platform First (Whole Church Engagement)
In 2025, we partnered with Chara Family Mission to reach churches at the pastoral level. This includes:
Platform invitation (5–10 min) at weekend services
Interest Gathering to learn more
6-week “All In Orphan Care” study
Support group or care community onboarding, depending on calling and readiness
