🌟 Welcome to Starfish Ministries of Cenla🌟

Because it matters to the One.

Every day, children in Louisiana enter foster care with nowhere safe to go. At Starfish Ministries, we believe every child deserves a home filled with love, stability, and hope. What began as one emergency foster home has grown into a community movement—providing emergency housing, family support, youth mentoring, and community outreach throughout Central Louisiana.

💛 Our Mission

To serve vulnerable children, youth, and families through Christ-centered programs that provide safety, healing, and hope—one life at a time.

🏠 What We Do

• Emergency Foster Housing – Offering a safe, nurturing home for children in crisis. 

• The Book Nook & Coffee Corner – A cozy Christian bookstore and café that funds our programs and connects our community.

• Youth Support & Employment Training – Helping young people build skills, confidence, and faith for their future.

• Family & Parent Support – Providing resources, guidance, and encouragement for foster and biological families.

• Community Outreach Events – Bringing awareness, education, and connection to the heart of Cenla.
