First Baptist Spartanburg desires to come along side and walk arm in arm with all of our foster, adoptive, and kinship families. We believe God has called members of our church body to love children through these various roles.

First Baptist WRAP teams literally wrap around a family and offer their support. Each team consist of 5-10 people who want to love on and encourage families.

Families who feel loved and supported have a much higher success rate than those who go through this alone. Our WRAP teams exist to make sure families feel supported and know that they are not alone. Joining a WRAP team is a great way for God to use you in foster, adoptive, and kinship ministry!
