Purpose:
The purpose of Lake Pointe’s adoption and orphan ministry is two-fold:

• To provide encouragement, resources, and support for families considering adoption
• To serve orphans around the world by praying, giving, and/or going

Adoption Ministry Focus:

• Encouragement – All of the families involved in this ministry have either adopted children or are in the process of adopting and desire to encourage other families through the sharing of personal testimonies, prayer, and mentorship.
• Resources – A wide array of information on the topic of adoption is available to families, but this information can often be overwhelming and sometimes even misguided. This ministry helps to dispel some of the adoption myths by providing families with key information about the various kinds of adoption.
• Support – Lake Pointe adoptive families will have the opportunity to participate in community-building events, and the Adoption 101 Hot Topics class will be offered periodically to assist families in their adoption journey.

Orphan Ministry Focus:
This is a compassion-centered ministry with a vision to help families fulfill God’s plan to care for the world’s orphans. Along with adoption and foster care, Lake Pointe has many opportunities in place to provide care for orphans. Through ongoing mission work, Lake Pointe members are making connections with orphanages around the world in order to minister to orphans during mission visits.
