Alongside Families focuses on family preservation: Keeping families of origin from being separated in the first place. We provide temporary care for kids and supportive friendships for parents to prevent families from unnecessarily entering the foster care system.

Our Mission

Alongside Families exists to connect isolated families to local church communities that champion family preservation and thriving.

Our Core Values

  • Gospel-centered: We live out the Great Commandment and the Great Commission
  • Grace: We suspend judgement and seek to understand
  • Community: We serve as a village, not alone
  • Relationship: We pursue relationships, not transactions
  • Dignity: We empower and do-with rather than compel and do-for
  • Bravery: We do hard things to love well
