Family Restoration
Restoring Families Involved with CPS
Family Restoration helps parents break patterns of addiction, violence, and poverty so they can care for their children and prevent family breakdown.
We pursue the biblical priority of restoring families as kinsman redeemers (Leviticus 25:25).
We disciple parents through the foster care journey so they can restore their families and fulfill their service plans. We offer mentoring and a court-approved biblical parenting class along with various other Watermark ministries to support parents. When reunification is no longer an option, we promote kinship placements and openness through adoption.
No child or parent should walk the journey of abuse, neglect, or healing alone. Watermark is a supportive community of believers who will fight at your side to help restore your family.
Path to Restoration
A 10-week, court-approved, biblical parenting class that satisfies a parent’s service plan and develops biblical community in order to restore your family and maintain support and growth after reunification.
Path to Restoration is offered three times each year. Contact us for information about the next available class
Need a Mentor?
We help parents navigate Child Protective Services (CPS), identify resources, and develop a biblical community of support to restore families or prevent the need for foster care altogether.
Contact us for more information.
More Resources
If you are at risk of having one or more children removed from your care, or have already had a child removed for any reason, Watermark wants to see your family restored.
In addition to our Family Restoration efforts, consider these other opportunities to help you lead your family. All are in the context of a welcoming Christian community that desires to see you, your family, and your child(ren) discover the hope of Christ and thrive.
