1.27 NATIONAL NETWORK LOCATIONS

The 1.27 National Network has fourteen current and active member organizations. Each is operating independently as a “bridge ministry” in their local communities. Though there is overlap in our missions, we all work to bridge the local church with local foster care, every member organization has a slightly different approach to fulfilling this call.

WHAT IS A 1.27 NATIONAL NETWORK CRITERIA

The 1.27 National Network is a group of ministries committed to serving children and families involved in the foster care system. Each ministry in the network is uniquely structured and engaged to meet ministry opportunities surrounding foster care in their home state.

1.27 Network ministries meet 6 criteria:

• Believe in a church-based, holistic approach to safety, well-being and permanence for children which includes family preservation, reunification, foster care, kinship care and adoption
• Serve as a bridge (not an agency) for multi-church collaboration with the local foster care system
• Recruit foster/adoptive families through local churches
• Promote support for foster and adoptive families through local churches
• Resource churches, families and individuals to respond to James 1:27
• Believe in The Apostle’s Creed as a common statement of faith

CONSTANT SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT

“Project 1.27 was crucial as we launched D.C. 1.27. They helped us work through our questions as we launched and offered continual encouragement and prayer. Project 1.27 has been a constant source of encouragement and a reminder that what we're doing is possible- it is possible to be a place where no child is waiting for a home.”

-Chelsea Geyer, DC 1.27 Director
