Adoption & Foster Care

“Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.” Isaiah 1:17

What a great way to demonstrate the love God has for all people!

Our goal: To raise awareness of the need for foster care in the Sioux Falls area
Progress: Since 2008, Hillcrest families have provided foster care for 44 children.

Foster care is a vital ministry that defends the orphan and the oppressed in powerful ways. We are humbled by the response of Hillcrest families in relation to the needs of children needing foster care families. Currently, Hillcrest has 4 families that are eligible for foster care and have received children to care for.
