What We Believe

At Cayacoa Kinship Family, our Christian faith is at the heart of who we are and everything we do. We believe that caring for children means more than providing food, shelter, education, and physical safety. It also means nurturing their spiritual lives and teaching them that they are created by God, deeply loved, and called to live lives of faith, compassion, integrity, and purpose.
We believe in one God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — and that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the foundation for our faith, values, and Christian teaching.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He came into the world, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and offers salvation and eternal life to all who place their faith in Him.
We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, and that through Him we are reconciled to God and called to a new life.
We believe in the power of prayer, the importance of worship, and the responsibility of Christians to demonstrate the love of Christ through their words, actions, service, forgiveness, generosity, and care for others.

Raising Children in the Christian Faith

Christian upbringing is an important part of life at Cayacoa. The children in our care are taught biblical principles, encouraged to pray, participate in worship, attend church, learn Scripture, and understand what it means to follow Jesus Christ.
We seek to teach these values not only through Bible lessons and church attendance, but through everyday life. We want our children to experience honesty, kindness, discipline, forgiveness, responsibility, respect, compassion, and love within a family environment.
Our desire is that every child who grows up at Cayacoa will understand that his or her life has value and purpose before God and will carry the principles they learn here into adulthood, their future families, and their communities.

Faith Expressed Through Love

Scripture teaches us to care for children, the vulnerable, the poor, and those in need. We therefore see our ministry to children not simply as charitable work, but as an expression of our obedience to Christ.
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14
At Cayacoa Kinship Family, we strive to provide more than a home. We seek to provide a Christian family environment where children are loved, protected, educated, encouraged, and given the spiritual foundation they need to grow into responsible men and women of faith and character.
Our faith is not simply something we profess — it is the foundation upon which the Cayacoa Kinship Family is built.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.”
— James 1:27
