FAM: Foster &

Adopt Ministry

Raising a family—whether through birth, foster care, or adoption—is one of life's greatest adventures. But it was never meant to be a solo journey. At Woodlake, we’re a church family who walks alongside you every step of the way.


Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. - James 1:27

Foster. Adopt. Support.

We care about children needing families because God cares about them – and He adopted us into His family.

Some are called to foster. Some to adopt. Some to support.

Our hope is that our marriage events, family events, and resources help our church families grow together.

Care Portal

CarePortal

CarePortal is a platform that lets DHS workers post vetted needs from families in the DHS system,  so we as individual families, churches, and businesses, can respond and meet these specific needs as they arise. We would love to have you join us as a "responder"! As a "responder," you will receive one or two weekly e-mails with a need close by.  If this is something you can help with, you respond to that need and are connected with the social worker.  This is such a practical way to show the love of Christ as you meet these physical needs!


“I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.” - Philippians 1:9-10
