Our Journey

Our Journey to Statewide Foster Care

Family Ministries Foster Care began its mission in 2017 as the Young Children’s Home, created with the primary goal of providing homes for large sibling groups who had experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect. It quickly became clear that the need for more homes was great, and we realized the incredible opportunity we had to help even more children and families.By the end of 2020, Family Ministries Foster Care was born. Since then, we’ve been licensing, training, and supporting foster families, initially focusing on the seven counties closest to our campus: Logan, Scott, Yell, Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin, and Johnson. Today, we’re excited to share that our recruitment efforts have expanded to encompass the entire state!

Expanding Our Impact and Strengthening Our Community

Evolving to Meet the Needs of Our Community

What began as a group home for large sibling groups has grown to include an Emergency Shelter and a robust foster care licensing program. We’re proud of how far we’ve come and excited about the future as we continue to expand our reach and impact.

Our Commitment to Families and Community

Once you become a part of our Young Home family, you are always a part of us. We strive to build lasting relationships with the families we serve, offering support, love, and encouragement to foster children and their caregivers. We believe that strong relationships build strong communities and nurture a sense of safety and well-being.
