Children in our area need Christian families to step up and meet the spiritual and physical needs of children in the foster care system. Babies, school aged children and teenagers need a home like yours. Come participate in this training conducted by the Florida Baptist Children’s Homes to learn how your family can step up and minister to children in need.

Florida Baptist Children’s Home is offering a foster parent training course (called MAPP – Model Approach to Partnerships in Parenting) that is a required course in order to become a licensed foster home.
