We aren’t all called to become a foster or adoptive family, but we are all called to care for orphans James 1:27. When you become a volunteer through Perimeter Village, you have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus, serving families of vulnerable children through meals, babysitting, community, financial support and much more. Our ministry also desires to serve adoptive and foster families by recruiting them, educating them, equipping them and helping sustain them throughout their journey.

Perimeter Village started from Promise686, a nonprofit mobilizing church communities to care for vulnerable children. Promise686, which started out of Perimeter Church, empowers churches working toward one common goal: to care for vulnerable children. Their hope is to see every child in a safe and loving family, forever, and they carry out this mission by equipping churches to support local foster and adoptive families, and biological families in crisis.

It takes an incredible amount of time, money, and emotion to care for vulnerable children. Traditionally, over 50 percent of foster parents drop out of the system within their first year of fostering. However, when foster parents are surrounded by ministries like Perimeter Village, they are 95 percent more likely to continue fostering after the first year. Perimeter Village, a ministry through Perimeter Church, provides this support system for families in our area, and helps raise at risk kids in safe, loving homes.
