How do I become a Champion

To become an official "Champion for Children," you should contact the Bethany Office closest to you. While we can provide ideas and videos over the Internet, by connecting with the office that is closest to you, you will receive information that is specific to your state and have the opportunity to network about Orphan and Adoption Ministries with other local churches.

If there is no Bethany office in your state, proceed to the end of the page for more information.

You can still register as a Champion. Of course, you would not be able to participate in local meetings at Bethany offices.

We will contact you with more information.
