WHAT IS A 1.27 NETWORK MINISTRY?

Should kids in US foster care miss out on a great family?
Should foster and adoptive families feel isolated and discouraged?
NO!
​
When churches in communities across the country say YES to James 1.27...
Kids discover families waiting to care!
Families find support and community!
Say YES today.

1.27 Network ministries meet 6 criteria:

• Believe in a church-based, holistic approach to safety, well-being and permanence for children which includes family preservation, reunification, foster care, kinship care and adoption
• Serve as a bridge (not an agency) for multi-church collaboration with the local foster care system
• Recruit foster/adoptive families through local churches
• Promote support for foster and adoptive families through local churches
• Resource churches, families and individuals to respond to James 1:27
• Believe in The Apostle’s Creed as a common statement of faith

PROVIDING RESOURCES NATIONWIDE

The 1.27 National Network offers resources and support to individuals and churches interested in connecting the church with kids in US foster care. 1.27 National Network ministry leaders join together monthly to share encouragement, ideas, questions and challenges. ​

CONSTANT SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT

“Project 1.27 was crucial as we launched D.C. 1.27. They helped us work through our questions as we launched and offered continual encouragement and prayer. Project 1.27 has been a constant source of encouragement and a reminder that what we're doing is possible- it is possible to be a place where no child is waiting for a home.”

-Chelsea Geyer, DC 1.27 Director
