Many congregations have grandparents and other kin caring for family members in either a formal setting through Child Protective Services or informally. These caring family members are faced with emotional and spiritual challenges and the church can provide critical spiritual support. The church may also provide tangible support to the children, biological parents, and family members. To best serve the needs of these children and their families, an informed approach is needed. Informed support begins with identifying community resources, providing education to church volunteers and staff, and creating internal support.
