Pure Religion


Pure Religion is a volunteer based initiative that connects churches across East Texas with childrenwaiting for adoption who are currently living in foster care.

Display ExampleDisplaying the Heart Gallery in a place of worship is the perfect way to reach concerned persons. After a congregation is informed to the needs of these children, the interested individuals learn about the many ways to help them in a follow-up meeting. We are available to speak during a service if it is requested.

At the end of the 3-week exhibit, Pure Religion hosts a follow up meeting that will give information as well as be motivating and engaging to encourage participants. Not everyone can foster or adopt so these are a few of the ways a person might help these children through this Heart Gallery effort:

  • Adopt a specific child who is currently living in foster care
  • Become a foster family who one day may want to adopt
  • Become a foster family for the benefit of the temporary care of children
  • Through the state or private agencies who are present at the follow-up meeting


You Can Volunteer In these Areas

  • CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)
  • COAC (Coalition of Adoptable Children- support group for adoptive parents)
  • Heart Gallery (Many opportunities)
  • CAC (Child Advocacy Center)
  • DFPS (Department of Family and Protective Services)
  • Mentorr
  • PAL (Preparing for Adult Living)
  • Obtain Christmas and birthday gifts
  • Obtain Prom dresses and rent Tuxedos for seniors still in foster care
  • Begin an adoption ministry in the church (Some churches start a foster/adopt ministry to support their congregation; Pure Religion connects the churches with tools and resources to start such ministries)
  • Pray for a child

It is not possible to predict the exact way in which each congregation will be moved. The success of the exhibit cannot be measured but the ripple effect is tremendous.
Every step taken, every heart opened and every prayer spoken on behalf of these children will have a positive impact on their lives.
