ADOPTION: Authentic Christianity in a Culture of Disposable Children

Carey Hughes is Senior Pastor of Christ The Redeemer Church in Spokane, Washington. His heartbeat in ministry has always been for kids, having served as a youth pastor and family pastor for over twelve years. Carey and his wife, Tricia, committed themselves to be involved in adoption during their engagement, and after having four biological children, welcomed their first adopted child Josiah. Soon came Abby, Chaya, and Maddie bringing the family total to eight – thus far! 


The Hughes’ have considerable experience in both fostering and adopting through the state and now have helped to found an orphan care ministry at their church called  “Off the Wall,” so named for the early church’s practice of receiving discarded children left at the city wall. Carey and Tricia minister with the passionate conviction that if Christians want to share the gospel with authenticity and power in a culture filled with “disposable children,” Christians must give their support to providing foster care and adoption both here and around the world.
