Safe Families for Children is a movement fueled by thousands of families who practice biblical hospitality. By opening their homes they are caring for vulnerable children whose parents or guardians are struggling with unmanageable circumstances. This work isn’t possible without the commitment of hundreds of churches all across the country. Through Safe Families for Children, your church can be putting its faith into action to surround families with compassionate care to help children stay safe and out of foster care. The scriptures lead us to make room in our busy, well-protected lives to minister to others and help a stranger. In early church times, hospitality was considered dangerous and even radical, yet it served as a foundational ministry.

Today, Safe Families remains integrally linked to local churches. Churches of all sizes play roles in providing for the less fortunate families in their communities. The church is reemerging as a champion for families in need, even as our society faces legal and governmental constraints and depleting resources.
