AGAPE Family Care Group

AGAPE Family Care Group is a Christian-based agency, but works with any individual or family who has AGAPE love in their hearts for children in foster care - AGAPE love that defends, protects, and never fails. Licensure requires no additional training beyond the 30 hours of pre-service training, unless specific needs of the child warrant additional instruction.

AGAPE Family Care Group serves families statewide and licenses non-therapeutic homes. The training hours required to become licensed are a total of 30 hours completed prior to licensing and are completed online. AGAPE Family Care Group families must complete 30 hours of recertification training within the 24-month licensing period. Training topics and scheduling are at the discretion of the foster parent/family.
