What is Embrace? 
 
Embrace is a ministry within Spring Creek Church that promotes and encourages the support of families that have foster, adopted or children with special needs.
 
Embrace has two goals:
 
1. Support these families. 
Through the creation of “Care Communities”, these families will receive prayer and practical support families.  The practical support can include things like 1 meal per week, facilitating the acquisition of needed but unaffordable items, running errands, housework, yard work, encouraging the children to be discipled by involvement in our children and student ministry programs, and providing child care for date nights (following all church child care guidelines).      
 
2. Create awareness about parenting foster/adopted/special needs children. 
Provide information to the congregation about each of these parenting situations - what it’s like for the children and the parents.  Specific to fostering and adoption, provide information on how those systems work, how a person becomes a foster or adoptive parent, and honest discussion of the highs and lows of being such a parent.
