Love in Action: The Church and Foster Care

Tonight, in NSW, more than 300 children will spend the night in an emergency placement. Instead of a stable home, they face uncertainty and disconnection. But what if we, as the Church, could offer them something more?

As followers of Jesus, we are called to care for the vulnerable and reflect God's heart for the fatherless (James 1:27). The foster care crisis is not a distant problem—it is an urgent, local reality. We have a unique opportunity to replace disconnection with belonging, providing not just the warmth of a family but the embrace of a gospel-centered church community.

Join us at Church Hill Anglican to explore how your church can step into this space, offering love, stability, and gospel hope to children who need it most. This isn’t just about foster carers—it’s about how every member of the Church can play a role, from prayer to practical support.

What to Expect on the Evening

• Real Stories of Impact: Hear from foster carers within Anglican churches who have stepped into this space, sharing their challenges, joys, and the transformative power of community support.
• Insights from the Frontline: Engage with Anglicare Foster Care staff and church leaders who are working directly with vulnerable children and families.
• A Shared Vision: Discover how your church can respond practically and prayerfully. While not everyone is called to be a foster carer, everyone can do something—whether it’s through prayer, wrap-around care, or advocacy.
