“What is my purpose?”

It’s a question we all ask. For many the kids in Wedgwood’s residential care, it is a question that no one has explored with them. 

Pastor LeRae Kuperus, Chief Officer of Mission Integration and Director of Spiritual Formation, shares her experience with helping clients at Wedgwood navigate soul-searching questions and mental health. Listen as LeRae talks about faith, chaplaincy, and the power of investing in a child’s spiritual well-being.

“They want to learn who they are. They want to be able to trust people. They want to find purpose in their life. As pastors here, we can point to that purpose.”

Join Jackie Brewster, Program Manager, as she shares the hope and confidence that ETP instills in kids at Wedgwood, the behavioral challenges that ETP addresses, and the renewed mental and emotional health of the clients.
