M25 Ministry officially started in the winter of 2005 as a result of the founders, Pat and Kacie Van Winkle, adopting and fostering. The ministry initially focused solely on the miracle of adoption, but over the past several years has grown in size and scope to include other marginalized and at-risk groups.
Currently, M25 Ministry works with children-at-risk locally and overseas. We foster children, support families that foster and support the parents and relatives who have children in foster care. We are a resource for an increasing number of families fostering and adopting children with medical issues, including an emphasis on children with HIV.
In addition, we have expanded our focus with other groups in our local community including but not limited to the homeless, retirement home residents, and those who are incarcerated.
Put simply, our mission is to live out the message in Matthew 25:34-40.
