Mission Statement

Caring for foster, adoptive and kinship caregivers, in holy obedience, through intentional community and prayer, respite and educational opportunities, and tangible needs.

Vision Statement

At Dwelling Place, we believe in loving and defending the weak and the fatherless and that there is an opportunity to create a safe, loving dwelling within each of our lives and homes.

We are called and compelled to support and equip future current foster, adoptive, and kinship caregivers to nurture and sustain their hearts for serving and empowering at-risk youth.
