Vulnerable Children

Serving Vulnerable Children

The Problem
In Illinois alone, there are 18,000 children in foster care. Over 3,300 of those children are waiting to be adopted.

The Solution: Homes of Hope
At Christ Community Church, we see a future where all kids at risk of foster care have a home. The mission of Homes of Hope is to cultivate a culture within Christ Community Church that encourages and prepares individuals, couples, and families to care for vulnerable children and spread the good news of Jesus in the process.
