Family Advocacy Ministry (Formerly Local Care)

"Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause."
Isaiah 1:17

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

James 1:27

As followers of Christ, we are called to love our neighbor, including the most vulnerable - orphans and widows.  Our Family Advocacy Ministry’s mission is to love, serve, and meet the needs of women and children who are either at-risk or currently in foster care, as well families who are foster or adoptive families.

There are many incredible organizations in Cobb County serving vulnerable women and children and we have partnered with the following organizations in order to minister to the community around us:

Brumby Elementary School

The Table on Delk

Together with Families

Atlanta Angels Chapter

We are also a part of Cobb Benevolence Group, which consists of local churches and social workers collaborating with various ministries to meet urgent needs like food shortages, shelter, and support.

Because Christ first loved us, we desire to meet tangible needs and support those around us.

 Family Advocacy Ministry Opportunities

  • Sojourn Church desires to serve our local community and what better way than through the local school! Each Thursday we have volunteers serve in the teacher workroom helping with making copies, laminating and a cutting and any other project support the teachers need.

    We will serve every Thursday from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm each semester.

    Be on the lookout for the new sign-up when school starts in August!

    If you have any questions, please reach out to Maggie Greenwood.

  • Sojourn has an amazing opportunity to serve kids in the classroom at Brumby by providing one-on-one readying support or small group math support through fun activities and games.

    Be on the lookout for the new sign-up when school starts back in August!

  • Sojourn Church has partnered with Promise686 and TogetherWithFamilies to create FAM teams to support families in our community who are at-risk of their kids entering the foster care system.

    We are currently looking to create our third FAM team and we would love your support! Click here to learn more about FAM at Sojourn!
