The Church unleashed to love our neighbors

Alongside Families is a pro-church ministry. We believe that the local church is best equipped to lead in family preservation. We offer a model, pathway, and professional support to empower local, gospel-centered churches to serve vulnerable families through biblical hospitality.

We partner with churches in the Greater Charlotte, NC and Greater Asheville, NC areas.

Is your church interested in partnering with Alongside Families?

Serving as a Lead Partner Church is a life-changing ministry opportunity for your church members. We unleash them to be on-mission in their own homes. Your church can temporarily host children to keep them out of the foster care system, befriend isolated parents, and build lasting relationships with an eternal impact. We offer a way to go deep in both loving your neighbors hands-on and in gospel proclamation in our city.

STEP 1: CONNECT

Schedule a coffee or Zoom by reaching out to us. Let’s get to know each other to see if this ministry is the right fit for you!

STEP 2: MINISTRY COORDINATOR TEAM

Identify 2-3 lay leaders who will recruit, coordinate, and support the Alongside ministry at your church.

STEP 3: INFO MEETING

Announce and invite others in your church to an info meeting at your church, led by Alongside staff.

STEP 4: TRAIN

Your church can host one of our in-person trainings for those in your church who are interested in fulfilling a volunteer role.
