The James Project

The James Project Wrap Around Foster Care Support in Sangamon County.

The James Project consists of three main ministries: Call 1:27, James Place, and Closet 1:27

Call 1:27 recruits, educates and supports those desiring to become foster or adoptive parents and those who are already following that call. James Place is a home that takes in foster children providing them with a long term, Christ-centered home environment as long as needed until they return home or are

adopted. Closet 1:27 fills the need many foster children have when coming into care and not having the necessities and clothing needed. We provide clothing, toiletries, and baby items/furniture to those coming into care or transitioning to a new home.

💛 FOSTER FAMILY NEED 💛

We have a foster family in need of a side-by-side stroller (or something similar to the picture below). If you have one you’re no longer using and would be willing to donate it to a foster family, we’d love to hear from you! 🫶

Please message us with a picture of the stroller before arranging a donation. Thank you for helping us surround foster families with the support they need! ❤️

What makes this group different?

One of the people teaching you has actually been the child in foster care.

Trent Taylor entered foster care at age four and was adopted at nine. Today, he uses his experience and professional training to help foster and adoptive parents better understand the child behind the behavior.

He’ll be joined by his adoptive mom, Pam Taylor, who has spent more than a decade serving foster and adoptive families.

Together, Pam and Trent bring two sides of the foster care story: the parent and the child who lived it.

Join them for Zoom teaching followed by small group discussion with other foster parents.
