Bringing hope light love transformation Jesus to our community

This is how we make a difference in Shelby.

The Crossroads Shelby Ministry Center serves as a hub for spiritual growth, community connection, and family support. Through small groups, we provide a space for people to deepen their faith, build meaningful relationships, and find encouragement in a close-knit community. Our events bring people together for worship, fellowship, and service, strengthening the bonds within our community.

Central to our mission is the Family Foundations Ministry. We’re here to cheer on foster and adoptive families with resources, support groups, and much-needed breaks. Whether it’s offering training, lending a hand with material needs, or simply providing a space for families to connect, we’re passionate about helping them thrive. The Shelby Ministry Center is dedicated to nurturing faith, fostering community, and supporting families in their journey.

Fostering Hope, Changing Futures

Foster, adoptive, and kinship families need our support.

Our goal is to uplift foster and adoptive families by providing practical support, fostering strong connections, and offering training and resources. We aim to create a welcoming, nurturing environment that encourages growth, healing, and long-term stability for both children and parents.

Play

The Play pillar of our Family Foundations vision offers families exciting outings and engaging, fun programs and events. We create joyful experiences that strengthen family bonds and provide much-needed relaxation for caregivers, ensuring every family enjoys quality time together in a supportive and loving empowerment.

Support

The Family Foundations Vision includes support for families who are fostering, adopting, or caring for kin. We seek to provide financial, educational, and emotional assistance to ensure a loving and stable environment for every child. Collaborations with community organizations aim to offer the best care and guidance. The goal is to create a future where all children thrive in secure and loving homes.

Connection

Family Foundations Ministry is dedicated to strengthening fostering and adoptive families by providing comprehensive support and fostering meaningful connections. This support system is vital to the success of a families journey and solidifies their commitment to fostering.

Training

Training is crucial because fostering and adopting children come with unique challenges that require specialized knowledge and skills. By equipping parents with proper training, we help them to navigate complex emotional, behavioral, and practical issues, ensuring they can provide a stable, nurturing environment, ultimately leading to stronger, more resilient families.

Rest

Our vision focuses on providing respite and relief to fostering and adoptive families. We offer opportunities for parents to unwind through activities like dinner or coffee, complete with childcare support. By creating moments of rest and relaxation, we help families recharge, reduce stress, and maintain a healthy balance, ultimately enhancing their ability to care for their children.

Recruiting

Recruiting is crucial for expanding the ministry's impact by attracting new families, volunteers, and supporters, ensuring more children find loving homes and families receive necessary support. It also creates a strong community network offering resources and guidance, essential for the ministry's growth and reaching more families in need.
