JOIN THE NETWORK
The Resilient Families Network is a growing community of churches across Greater Charlotte committed to strengthening vulnerable children and families.
Joining the Network begins with relationship, shared vision, and a willingness to learn and grow together. Churches engage from many different starting points. Whether your church is just beginning to explore this work or has an established history of serving vulnerable families, the Network exists to support, equip, and connect you along the way.
Ways to Join the Network
Complete the Network Assessment
A short self-assessment to help you and your church reflect on where you're starting from, what you're hoping to find, and how you'd like to engage with the network. It's a simple way to bring clarity to your next steps before diving in.
Attend a Network Gathering
Your chance to connect with the network in person at our regular Network Gathering events. Hear from network members and leaders, gain connection and content for serving vulnerable families, and learn more about the need right here in Charlotte.
Fill Out the Get Connected Form
A short form to capture your focus area, how your work aligns with the network, and the specific way you'd like to plug in. Once submitted, a member of the network leadership team will follow up with next steps personalized to you.
The need is great, and the Gospel compels us. Our Savior calls us to defend the cause of the vulnerable. Let’s be the Church that not only rescues children from the child welfare system but also strengthens families before they ever reach it. Together, we can build a resilient Church, resilient families, and a resilient community.
