Want to serve foster parents at Bellevue?

Did you know only 50% of foster families continue fostering for more than a year, and less than 10% make it past the five-year mark? Fostering a child is rewarding, but it can be exhausting, and no one should have to do it alone.

That’s why WRAP Ministry exists. Born out of a desire to surround foster families with consistent, practical support, Bellevue’s WRAP Ministry organizes individuals into dedicated teams that walk alongside foster families through every joy and every challenge. Each team provides meals, childcare, encouragement, and more—so that every foster family in our community is fully equipped to keep showing up for their kids.

How to get involved

Join a WRAP team! A WRAP team is made up of 10–12 volunteers/families who come together to “WRAP” around foster parents to help them serve the children in foster care. They agree to a predetermined period of time to serve the families through: Words of Encouragement, Respite Care, Acts of Service, and Prayer. This is a great way for an individual, a Life Group, or any group for that matter, to serve these families. Click here to register for a WRAP team.
