Abide

At Abide, we want to present our guests with opportunities to connect with others, learn, and rest. Abide is designed to serve foster, adoptive, and kinship parents (both current and awaiting placement).

At this event, you will eat breakfast with other parents like you and listen to an encouraging word from our main speaker. You can stop by our delicious candy bar and coffee cart throughout the day. We will also offer a variety of breakout sessions. We hope this is a time to remember to abide in Jesus, your strength and hope, as you persevere in the hard work of foster care and adoption.

Childcare is available for children ages birth to 12th grade! For children ages birth to 5th grade, traditional KidCare will be provided. For children and teens from 6th-12th grade, we are offering a program through REACH council that will allow time for fun, connection, and skill-building.
