We're With You From Day One
Becoming a licensed foster parent takes preparation — and we make sure you're never doing it alone. From your very first training to the ongoing support that follows, Family Ministries is with you every step of the way.
Training That Works for Your Life
We know your schedule is busy. That's why we offer pre-service trainings both in-person and virtually — so you can complete the requirements in a way that actually fits your life. Our goal isn't just to check boxes. We want you to feel genuinely prepared, confident, and excited about the journey ahead.
When you go through training with us, you'll get to know your trainer personally — not just as an instructor, but as someone who will walk alongside you through the licensing process. By the time you reach your interview, you'll already have a familiar face in your corner.
A Clear Path, Every Step of the Way
We believe the licensing process shouldn't feel like a mystery. Here's what you can expect when you train with Family Ministries:
More Than a Training Program — A Community
Licensing is just the beginning. Once you're part of the Family Ministries family, you're part of something ongoing. Throughout the year, you'll be invited to community gatherings, agency events, and our annual Christmas party — because fostering is hard, and we believe the families who do it deserve to be celebrated and connected.
You'll also continue growing through on-going trainings as part of your compliance agreement, keeping you equipped and informed as your foster care journey continues.
