INDIVIDUAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIPS
Membership in CAFO is an opportunity to grow and guide a movement together. In addition, there are a variety of membership opportunities available to churches, each with their own unique access to resourcing, Summit registration incentives, leadership, guidance and coaching platforms and more!
MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
All membership levels include a voice in a united community, working in unison to enlarge the Church’s action for children in need. Advanced levels of membership also include further opportunities to expand the member’s impact while investing in the movement together.
The simple steps to membership include:
1) Completed online membership application
2) Processing of membership dues or commitment to invest locally (for Supporter and Champion level)
MEMBERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Invest directly in CAFO or through a local non-profit, agency or ministry
At CAFO, we exist to empower and mobilize local collaborative movements that are supporting vulnerable children and families better together than they ever could separately. To that end, we invite you to consider investing in a local non-profit, agency or ministry that is serving vulnerable children and families in your community.
If you commit to investing annually at a local level your investment will be credited towards your church’s membership at CAFO. For example, a local investment of at least $250/year will qualify as your Supporter Level member dues at CAFO, or a minimum local investment of $1,000/year will qualify as your Champion Level dues.
We are excited to offer this opportunity for your church to receive all the benefits of CAFO Church Membership while experiencing the satisfaction of partnering more strategically with a local ministry or organization!

*Church Ministry Essentials Learning Platform
The “Church Ministry Essentials: Building an Everyone Can Do Something Culture” learning platform will help give you the clarity and confidence you need to launch, lead and grow a thriving foster care, adoption and family support ministry. You’ll gain fresh ideas, new insights and world class content as you mobilize your church to care for kids and families. To learn more visit https://cafo.org/church/essentials.
*Issue Focused Working Group (Supporter and Champion)
A member of the church’s leadership team is requested to serve on one of three working groups (adoption, foster or global orphan care). Each group will address one critical issue together annually — framing the challenge and identifying best-in-class practices and resources for effective response and ministry application.
*Copies of "Everyone Can Do Something" book
“Everyone Can Do Something” is a field guide for strategically rallying your church around the orphaned and vulnerable. In it you will discover how to clarify your message, make the problem relatable, set strategic priorities, develop a plan and outline best next steps for your ministry.
All Champion level churches will receive two free copies of the book!

*Free Registration for "OVC Essentials Course"
OVC Essentials provides an experience of shared learning, critical and foundational knowledge, and personal enrichment to interns, students, young leaders, and a variety of others at the start of their journey in caring for the orphan and vulnerable child. Our goal is to lay a foundation for lifelong service to vulnerable children – from professional work to volunteer ministry to family life – while allowing you to connect with others who share your passion.
