Belong Ministries Support Group

This is a monthly support group connecting parents across the shared experiences of Fostering, Adoption, and Disability Parenting. We gather from 1-3pm on the first Saturday of every month.

Childcare and hospitality are a shared space for all attending, but you are invited to sit with a small group of Fathers of Children with disabilities, Mothers of Children with disabilities or a Foster & Adoption group to connect and support one another. Each group is facilitated by an experienced parent and hopes to share stories, meet each other where everyone is at, and connect every parent to more opportunities for greater care and support. 

Meaningful and intentional childcare is available for all ages, and students meet concurrently. Please provide information for every child that you would like care for. 

This group does not meet during the months of July or August. Please visit our webpage if you would like to be added to the monthly newsletter for summer schedule updates. See below for scheduled discussion topics! Topics are subject to change.
