Chosen Ones Ministry of First Covenant Church will be participating in a regional launch of a life-changing ministry called Safe Families For Children. Safe Families is an unprecedented movement of compassion designed to reduce child abuse and return the church to the forefront on caring for children as it has been throughout history.

When a crisis strikes, many of us rely on relatives and friends for support. But for some families, there is no safety net. Now there is with Safe Families for Children. Safe Families extends community support by hosting vulnerable children and strengthening their families in crisis through a network of volunteers. The goal is to help a family stay together and prevent the need for foster care or entering into the Child Welfare System.
