Our Foundation and Faith

Our Foundation

Founded by Kay Ekstrom, Christian Family Care is a ministry rooted in a simple yet powerful belief–that every child deserves to experience the love of Christ through the care of a nurturing family. What started as a small outreach offering a few social services has grown into a statewide ministry dedicated to strengthening families and serving at-risk children. With offices in Northern Arizona, Phoenix, and Tucson, Christian Family Care continues to grow its reach and impact–equipping more families and transforming more lives in the name of Jesus Christ.
