Serving together: A church small group embraces Safe Families
With Safe Families for Children, churches play a key role in providing practical support for families and volunteers. At Well Church in California, six families formed a small group focused on growing in faith and serving their community through Safe Families at Bethany. Individually, each family provides a safe, temporary home for children whose families are experiencing a crisis. Together, these six families have created a circle of support for each other and the families they’re serving in this ministry.
