We EQUIP MINISTRIES to EMPOWER CHURCHES to PRESERVE FAMILIES.

Family preservation means keeping families together.

This means preserving families of origin, birth families, and the families God created. In communities across America, there are families facing poverty and brokenness. Parents are struggling to care for their children and to preserve their families.  In these same communities, there are compassionate Jesus followers in local churches who are ready to take on the calling of serving vulnerable families.

Family Preservation Ministry provides holistic care and support that empowers families to stay together while growing in stability and strength.   Upstream Collaborative exists with a Mission to equip Family Preservation Ministries to protect, preserve, and strengthen families; doing so through local churches, openly proclaiming the Gospel.
