Building Your Family The Way God Builds His
What We're About
Adoption pictures the Gospel. At Mercy Hill, we build families through adoption and restore families through foster care. Through both, we step into God’s call to love the vulnerable and to build families the way God builds His rooted in His love, grace, and purpose.
Our Goal
As a church we’re running toward a big goal: 1000 children impacted through adoption, foster care or Families Count by 2030. Why? Because every child should know the love of a family. Adoption builds the family, foster care restores the family, and support roles make it possible. Together, we can answer God’s call and make this vision a reality.
Our Vision
Our vision is simple yet powerful: to see families and individuals provide gospel-centered care to vulnerable children through four pathways—adoption, foster care, Families Count, and supporting families as a Rope Holder.
How to Get Involved
ADOPTION
The Gospel provides a great reason for us to build our families the way God builds His. Adoption is a powerful expression of God’s love, welcoming a child into a forever family.
FOSTER CARE
Just as God pursues restoration and reconciliation, foster families partner with parents and support systems to help heal what has been broken, celebrating when families are made whole again.
FAMILIES COUNT
Families Count is a 8-week, biblically based class and mentoring ministry for families seeking seeking family restoration. Interested in serving at the next session of Families Count? Click the button below!
Guardian Ad Litem
Stand up for children in the court system by volunteering as a Guardian ad Litem. As a trained advocate, you’ll work with the courts to ensure each child’s needs are met during legal proceedings. This role is an incredible way to make a real difference.
Rope Holder
Not everyone can foster or adopt, but everyone can help. As a “Rope Holder,” you can support families by assisting with tasks like grocery runs, transportation, yard work, or even licensed respite care. Think of it as being the support system every family needs.
Give
Your generosity fuels the mission by providing vital resources and support for families stepping into adoption and foster care. From helping cover the costs of adoption to equipping foster families with what they need, your giving helps make this ministry possible and transforms lives.
Resources For Families
We’re here to help you find the resources, tools, and community you need on this journey. Explore our curated resources for everything from adoption information to practical support for foster families.
