Our Ministry Areas
Orphan Care Alliance serves three different populations in the spectrum of child welfare. Each ministry area is attuned to the population being served and works to provide positive outcomes through our own programs and in collaboration with many other organizations.
Family Preservation
The Family Preservation Ministry focuses on keeping biological families together. Most times, other organizations refer families on the verge of foster care to our Family Preservation ministry, where we have a variety of options from temporary care of children in one of our approved homes to walking beside mom and dad to acquire the needed resources to regain stability.
Family Support
The Family Support Ministry focuses on the family choosing foster or adoption. We walk with you from learning about your options until you have children in your home. And that is when the journey begins. Raising children from a traumatic background is very different and the Family Support Ministry is with you along the way offering support groups, individual support, resources, and training.
Life Coaching
For children in the foster care system who are 12 and older, adoption and a forever family becomes less of a reality. OCA's Life Coaching ministry pairs a Life Coach with a child, 12 years old and up, currently or previously in foster care. Life Coaching is also available for adopted children, age 12 and up. A Life Coach is a trusted adult in a child's life who works to prepare them for transition to adulthood. Statistics show that a child has a better outcome when they have a Life Coach.
