Foster Care & Adoption

Arizona Faith and Families 

It is the mission of Arizona Faith and Families to recruit foster and adoptive parents from within the Christian church, to train and license them within a biblical world view, and to equip them to serve their Savior, home, church, and community. 

Christian Family Care  

We see a future where every vulnerable child is loved and nurtured in a Christ-centered family. To make that vision a reality, Christian Family Care partners with families, churches, and caring neighbors like you to provide comprehensive adoption and foster care services, along with extensive counseling and support programs for children, families, and women struggling with unplanned pregnancies. 

Get Involved: 

1. Become a foster family 
2. Mentor a child in foster care 
3. Serve at one of our events that are hosted throughout out the year at Illuminate and elsewhere. 

Addictions and Recovery

Teen Challenge & Springboard 

Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch helps boys, ages 14 – 17 1/2, recover from various issues that are causing them to seriously damage their future or their physical or emotional well-being.  We help boys who are self-destructing due to trauma, adoption issues, negative peer influences, abuse, or substances that are controlling their life.  

Our goal at Springboard is to provide a warm, loving, nurturing and structured environment for the young ladies… an environment in which they can grow and overcome their life-controlling issues while developing a well-rounded and disciplined life. Through curriculum, counseling and ministry, we strive to reunite the entire family into healthy and loving relationships. We address both the issues that created the current crisis as well as providing tools to avert crisis in the future.
