Promise686 Montana is Becoming “Rooted Families!”

Promise686 is proud to announce that Promise686 Montana will become its own organization called Rooted Families, beginning January 1, 2026! While continuing to partner with Promise686, Rooted Families will connect and empower churches in Montana to care for vulnerable children and families in their communities through the proven model of Family Advocacy Ministries (FAMs).

THE NEED IN MONTANA

Montana continues to have one of the highest rates of children in foster care per capita in the United States. The need across this vast and unique state continues to grow. 

Since its founding in 2021, Promise Montana has served 1,660 children, generating an economic impact exceeding $759,300. Through strategic partnerships with churches, individuals, foundations, and businesses, Rooted Families is empowering communities to come together and care for the state’s most vulnerable. By 2030, the organization aims to serve 11,000 children and families across Montana. 

WHY THE NAME “ROOTED FAMILIES?”

To end the foster care crisis, families need to be rooted in Jesus. That is only accomplished when God’s people (the Church) come together to be the hands and feet of Jesus to provide support for vulnerable children and families. Isaiah 40:11 says, “He tends his flock like a shepherd: he gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.”

MULTIPLYING THE IMPACT OF PROMISE686

Just like the model of Promise686, Rooted Families will stand on three pillars:

1) Preventing children from entering foster care by preserving families

2) Supporting families and children with volunteer support to strengthen and stabilize families

3) Connecting children to families through reunification and adoption assistance support activities

Rooted Families will exist to empower local churches to create lasting redemptive solutions that help vulnerable children and families become whole.

We are thrilled about the expansion of the Promise686 model. The creation of this organization brings great potential for the families of Montana. Promise686 is grateful that Rooted Families will remain rooted in the promise of Psalm 68:6 that “God sets the lonely in families.”
