And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his ARMS, he said to them, “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” Mark 9:36 (ESV)

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction... James 1:27 (ESV)

Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God settles the solitary in a home. Psalms 68:5-6 (ESV)

Concordia’s ARMS ministry is a community of people that are connected by the common bonds of adoption and foster care. Following Jesus, we endeavor to take His children into our arms and homes.

We are couples who have traveled the road of infertility; we are couples and singles alike who have felt God’s call to adopt or foster; we are families with children who look like their parents and families with children who do not; we are families whose members represent birth countries and cultures from many parts of the world; we are families whose members speak different languages; we are those who are waiting to adopt or foster and those whose wait has just recently come to an end; we are adoptive families and foster families – and the list goes on. In the end, we are families just the same, and we believe that God is doing something truly remarkable among us as He forms families and transforms lives through the miracle of adoption.

We invite you to find out more about Concordia’s ARMS. We have compiled a variety of helpful adoption and foster care resources as well as ways that you can get involved in loving and serving children in foster care. Regardless of your connection to adoption or foster care, ARMS is a place where you can get connected, find encouragement, and obtain quality, objective information and resources.
