Overview
Mission
Grace House Ministries empowers life-affirming, gospel-driven, God-honoring decisions before, during, and after pregnancy. Katherine “Kat” Gardner joined Grace House Ministries in 2025, with over 15 years of experience in foster care and education. A passionate advocate for children and families, Kat has worked across the foster care spectrum—including reunification, emergency shelters, international and refugee care, and adoption. She’s also served in public education, supporting learners of all ages, from Pre-K to adults, and previously worked as an Adult Education Literacy Facilitator, specializing in career development and ESL. As a mom to nine and a foster parent to many, Kat brings both personal heart and professional expertise to every family she serves. Pure Truth.
