Foster Care

The George Shinn Foster Care Program

Through our George Shinn Foster Care Program, we contract with Tennessee Department of Children’s Services to provide certified foster families for children in state custody. We carefully select evangelical Christians to serve as foster parents so children placed in their homes are cared for physically as well as spiritually. The program includes training, support, direction and advocacy by our qualified and dedicated Foster Care case managers.
