Family Promise church member volunteers are the ones who make this program work, and who offer the most support to our guest families. Many times folks with similar situations can sit and visit together and can offer prayers and a listening ear. There are about 250 volunteers from all denominations serving at the different Family Promise Mat-Su host church sites. Please consider offering of yourself in one of the areas below. Contact the Family Promise office at 357-6160.
