Wellspring Church is committed to glorifying the name of Jesus Christ. One of the ways that we seek to accomplish that is by offering spiritual, financial and emotional support for the most vulnerable in our society: children. There are 2 main avenues by which we attempt to do this.
ADOPTION
Scripture calls us to care for the orphans and the widows (James 1:27). At Wellspring we believe this means supporting adoptive and preadoptive families in tangible ways, both financial and emotional.
Adoption can be very expensive and we would like to ease that burden with our adoption grant program. These grants are directly funded through gifts from the wellspring family. Our hope is that the cost of adoption will never be financially prohibitive.
In addition to financial support, FAST members are available to support you throughout this process. We are available to answer questions and direct you to resources, before, during, and after adoption.
Check out how God worked and moved in the lives of the Clarks when they took steps of obedience to God when their original plans didn’t work out the way they had originally desired.
FOSTER CARE
Wellspring currently hosts a monthly support group for foster moms living in Ottawa County. Moms enjoy a safe place to ask questions, seek advice from other moms in similar situations, and to just feel loved. Free childcare is provided.
WRAP AROUND FAMILY
One way you can get involved in caring for the vulnerable is by joining a Wrap Around Family Team. These teams are made up of 4-5 families, each team supports one foster family. This can be a monthly meal, respite care, house/yard work, special gifts, prayers, a note of encouragement, or transportation needs. Let us know how you can help and we will plug you in with the team that best matches your giftings.
UNPLANNED PREGNANCY MINISTRY
Do you find yourself unexpectedly pregnant and unsure of the next step? Whether you are contemplating abortion, adoption, or parenting your baby, please reach out. Allow us to listen, because we would like to meet you right where you are. We want to partner with and walk beside you on your journey.
We are offering a class called Embrace Life. It is a 22-week class that will meet once a week. In this class you will find a community of like minded women, fun and engaging topics to discuss, and gifts that will enrich your daily life.
If you have any questions about the FAST ministry, would like to become a part of our ministry team, or if you are in the process of or considering adoption/foster care we would love to hear from you. You can reach out by sending an email to fast@wellspringcc.org to connect with us.
