Stand Sunday
churches around the world Standing together to recognize and respond to god's heart for vulnerable children and families

THE ORIGIN OF STAND SUNDAY
Pastor: "Who will stand with me to defend, care, and support abused, abandoned, and neglected children in our community?"
Churchgoer: "Pastor, I will."
At a small church in Brownwood, Texas, Bishop Aaron Blake saw the response multiply as one family after another stood up and echoed the voice that came from the back of the church. Stand Sunday was born and has expanded around the globe. As a result of that day, this church and the surrounding community have cared for and adopted hundreds of children in foster care over the last 18 years. In fact, their county actually has more than enough foster families to meet the need there.
Our prayer is that the same will happen in our churches and counties across Pennsylvania. Will you join us in prayer and Stand Sunday 2026?
