There are an overwhelming number of orphans in our city and in our world, but God has provided for us a number of opportunities to express his love for orphans, whether through adoption or some other form of relationship.
Join us for a Saturday conference as we discuss God’s heart and explore some of the opportunities to show God’s love for orphans, which are available to you regardless of your age or life-stage.

Stories from adult adoptees
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
Our theme for 2024 is “Treasure” and we will talk about how we can view orphan care through this lens of storing up treasures in heaven. Loving vulnerable children is not easy, and it sometimes doesn’t bring the healing and satisfaction we hope for on earth. But as Christians and followers of Jesus, our treasures are in heaven, and we look forward to that hope being fulfilled one day when we are reunited with the Father.
In the many ups and downs of adoption and orphan care, our speakers point to the hope of the Gospel. They open their hearts and share their own family’s stories of adoption, foster care, and caring for children.
Find time to be refreshed, encouraged and strengthened alongside others who share a heart for caring for vulnerable children. Arrive early for the coffee hour and enjoy a catered lunch and meet some new friends.
Worship centers and focuses us and reminds us that orphan care is not dependent on us. Join with others who share in the journey by offering praise, worship, and thanksgiving to God!
The breakout sessions are smaller groups that focus on a specific area of orphan care so you can learn more intensively about what you are passionate or curious about.
