Pathway believes in redemption and healing, and we believe in Christ’s mandate to serve the vulnerable. More than 75 Pathway families have stepped into foster care, adoption, and pre-foster care support (New Mercies Ministries) to provide kids with a safe place to call home. We believe everyone can do something to positively impact the life of a child. And that all of those “somethings” are valuable. Join us for True Vine Weekend to learn more about God’s call to serve vulnerable children and families.
