Physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we are here for foster youth and families.

The love of a family holds the strongest influence a child can ever experience. Unfortunately, one of the fastest growing demographics of vulnerable youth in Indiana are those who are too young for residential care. They have higher needs than what a traditional foster home can accommodate. How can these youth encounter all that a family has to offer if they are caught in the gap of the system? 

Gateway Woods Professional Foster Care (PFC) exists to provide a safe and stable home for vulnerable youth aged 8-13 where they will experience God’s love. We provide Gospel-centered services that encourage and promote the development of these youth.

We provide physical resources and emotional and spiritual support to PFC families who are caring for these youth stuck in the system. This is done through dedicated PFC parents who are fulltime employed through the PFC program. This allows PFC parents to fully invest in these youth who need high levels of engagement to succeed.

"Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2

Reunification with families of origin is the primary goal of PFC. This means that families of origin will work alongside our PFC parents to strategize solutions for any and all needs that arise for their child(ren). This teamwork approach encourages families of origin to stay highly involved with decisions, using the PFC parents as a resource to ensure trauma-informed care for their child(ren).
