As a church, our goal is to create a community of support, encouragement, and prayer for children experiencing foster care and the adults that courageously take on the role of a foster parent.
Foster WV is a Chestnut Ridge Church ministry that is dedicated to raising awareness about the growing foster care crisis in West Virginia, recruiting foster parents to open their hearts and homes to children in need through local child welfare agencies, and resourcing foster, adoptive, kinship, and vulnerable families. We work to resource families through volunteer support called “care communities” (i.e. meals, babysitting, mentoring, and household chores), access to our onsite Foster WV Resource Room, free quarterly Foster Family Day events, regular parent night-out events, and other touches throughout the year.
