Fostering Hope: Changing the Story for Children In Crisis

Where Love Resides

What is X150 Children?

The Tampa Bay area leads the state of Florida in number of children entering the foster care system. Every day in our community there are on average 9 children removed from their homes due to abuse, abandonment, or neglect. Some children are placed with family members, some neighbors, some foster families, while others end up sleeping in office buildings while authorities find an available home.

The hope found in the Gospel of Jesus can change the future of each of these children. And while not every Calvary member is called to welcome a child into their home, every member can be involved.

X150 Children provides opportunities for everyone at Calvary, regardless of age or stage of life, to impact the foster care system with the power of the Gospel through:

50 GUARDIAN
AD LITEMS

to advocate for the best interest of children in our community

50 CARE TEAMS

to support foster and adoptive familes

25 FOSTER FAMILIES

to demonstrate the love of God to children suffering from abuse and neglect

25 ADOPTIVE FAMILIES

to provide forever families for children without homes

Get Involved

“When you plant a biblical, missional, Gospel church that preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you end up impacting everything that is important in the Kingdom of God. When a church is what a church ought to be . . . then orphans get adopted, widows get cared for, the sick are prayed over, the poor are served, the lost are evangelized, the saved are discipled, the children are educated, injustice is confronted, Christ is magnified! When a Gospel church is planted, the Kingdom of God grows!” -Dr. William Rice

Care Teams

Foster families with a support team are ten times more likely to make it past year one. Dropping off a meal, helping with a yard project, or faithfully praying can be a game-changer for a foster family. If you are looking for the perfect opportunity for your family or group to serve together, this is it!
