Joy Meadows Church Network
partners with churches of all sizes
to meet the needs of vulnerable
children by implementing a
sustainable foster/adopt ministry.
Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed.
Defend the cause of the orphans. Isaiah 1:17
There’s a real crisis.
In Kansas, over 6000 children are in the Foster Care system.
Most children in foster care move 7+ times, multiplying trauma.
Due to burnout, the number of licensed foster homes is decreasing.
Over 50% of foster families quit in less than 1 year.
We can do better, together.
No church can do it alone, but together we can break the cycle of trauma.
There are 1199 Churches in Kansas.
Foster Families supported by the Joy Meadows Church Network model continue to foster at a 92% rate after 2 years.
Every church desires to see every child experience stability, healing, and joy.
But prioritizing at-risk kids and their families takes time and financial and emotional investment. It’s hard.
Don’t reinvent the wheel.
The Joy Meadows Church Network equips your church to implement a sustainable foster/adopt ministry using the Care Community model.
With this proven model, churches provide vulnerable children what they need the most: Strong Families.
