Church Partners
Want to become a church partner?
The solution to the foster care crisis in our area is the LOCAL CHURCH. A Door of Hope can only do what we do because of our partnerships with churches throughout the areas we serve. We join together to fulfill God’s calling.
“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” James 1:27
How your church can get involved

Pray for foster families, our staff, and for the church in Tampa Bay to answer the call to be the solution to the foster care crisis in our area. Join the prayer list.

These are 90-minute sessions that we offer to families that have an interest in becoming foster parents. Reach out and book us at your church.
