The Church unleashed to love our neighbors

Alongside Families is a pro-church ministry. We believe that the local church is best equipped to be on the front lines of family preservation. We offer a model, pathway, and professional support to empower local, gospel-centered churches to simply do what the Church does best: Love like Jesus.

Our partner churches are at the core of what we do. They carry out our deeply relational ministry model designed to keep children safe and families intact and thriving within community. We currently partner with churches in the Greater Charlotte, NC and Greater Asheville, NC areas.

3 On-Ramps for Church Partnership

1. BE A LEAD CHURCH

This is our primary on-ramp & the area of greatest need for our neighbors.

Lead in family preservation through deeply relational ministry that is life-changing for both your neighbors in need and for the members of your church. Host children to keep them from unnecessarily entering foster care, and welcome isolated parents into your church community.

We connect isolated families who otherwise may never walk through the doors of your church with Christ-followers in your church with a heart to impact hurting families today, for generations, and for eternity.

This on-ramp unleashes your congregation to be on-mission in their own homes and serve together as families and with one another. There's a way for everyone in your church to serve!

2. BE AN EQUIPPING CHURCH (Charlotte area only)

Alongside Families SHARE churches build a response team to meet tangible needs of vulnerable families in a relational way. Using the CarePortal software platform, your church will connect with families to meet one-time needs to help stabilize and strengthen families.
