FAMILY ADVOCACY MINISTRIES
The Bible teaches about the sacred gift of human life. We partner with local ministries that offer compassionate care: Child Bridge, Hope Pregnancy Ministries, Promise686, Care Portal, and more. These organizations faithfully care for individuals in our valley. Each of these ministries works together to support life before birth, through difficult situations, through foster care, and more.
PROMISE686
Promise686 Montana works with local churches to implement Family Advocacy Ministries (FAMs), providing what vulnerable children need most: strong families. By mobilizing church volunteers to serve families in crisis, children are able to experience the care and stability they need. Approximately 2,500 Montana children in foster care stand to gain the most when local churches step up to provide support via resources, volunteers, and families. Additionally, their biological families in crisis will gain strength through relational support.
CAREPORTAL
CarePortal helps to connect our church to local children and families in crisis. We are able to help at-risk families with tangible needs (buying them a bed, diapers, a water tank, a phone, etc.) More info is available online at careportal.org. At Easthaven, we have created an email list for anyone willing to participate. Members on the email list receive requests that are vetted and submitted by social workers to Care Portal, and can immediately take action. To join that email list, CLICK HERE.
CHILD BRIDGE
Easthaven supports Child Bridge, a ministry that Bridges the gap between churches, communities, and government. Child Bridge finds and supports foster and adoptive families for Montana children in need. The 2nd Monday of each month, Easthaven hosts Child Bridge, a foster and adoptive support group for parents. They meet from 6:00-8:00PM and discuss various topics about foster care and adoption. Childcare is provided for the children, along with dinner for the whole family. Want to know more info?

The Hospital and Prayer Visitation Team is an important part of our Care Ministry. This team consists of highly compassionate people who pray for and visit church members in the hospital.
