Stand Sunday

 In 2002, Bishop Aaron Blake, Sr. initiated the first “Stand Sunday” in the United States, calling the families at his home church in Brownwood, Texas to stand-up to care for children and families impacted by the child welfare system.

Today, churches across the nation join forces on Stand Sunday to declare war on inaction when it comes to children and families facing abuse, abandonment, and neglect.

​

Although traditionally observed on the second Sunday of November during National Adoption Month, churches host Stand Sunday on various days and in various ways.

This November, join churches in over 120 countries who are choosing to stand on behalf of vulnerable children and families in their own communities.
