Transforming Lives for Jesus.

We believe the key to transforming lives for Jesus is through the context of the relationships we build in our neighborhoods.

Safe Families

Safe Families Oklahoma is part of a nationwide effort designed to support vulnerable children and parents in need. Christian families engage in the spiritual practice of biblical hospitality by opening their homes to children whose parents are experiencing a short-term emergency or crisis.

Close Modal
Safe Families
Parents voluntarily allow their children to stay in safe, loving homes while they seek to restore stability in their lives. Typically, the assistance to these families lasts only a few months.

Crossings is leading this community initiative and is dedicated to providing family support, stabilization and, most importantly, preventing child abuse. You can learn more about Safe Families at safefamiliesok.org.

Opportunities

  • Host Family - opens their home to children on a short-term basis without compensation. The Host Family will also nurture an on-going relationship with the biological parents, becoming a spiritual extended family.
  • Family Coach - offers support and guidance to the host family while they have children in their home and helps the biological family access the resources and support they need to regain stability.
  • Family Friend - engages in a partnering relationship with parents in crisis or host families without necessarily caring for the children. Family friends can also provide a tangible service to help meet the needs of a host family or biological family.
Ready to get involved? Complete the volunteer form to let us know you are interested in learning more.
