Serving Children & Families Across the United States
For their first 25 years, Ted and Angie committed their lives to pastoral ministry, with 15 successful years as lead pastors at First Assembly of God in Palatka, Florida. In March 2019, they embraced a new calling as Chaplains to the Foster and Adoption Community, under the umbrella of U.S. Missions. This role has allowed them to bring their faith and leadership into a space where it is sorely needed—working with children and families navigating the foster care system. Angie’s deep passion for helping vulnerable children is evident in her work as the Regional Manager for CarePortal, where she bridges the gap between local churches, child welfare workers, and families in need. Ted, as part of the PenFL Foster Care Network, partners with ambassadors to raise awareness, recruit foster families, and strengthen church-based foster care ministries.
Together, Ted and Angie have become a vital resource in the foster care community, providing national support and training to foster and adoptive families across over 600 cities in the United States. Their efforts have helped start more than 75 foster care ministries through local churches and have created over 10,000 opportunities to serve children in need. Ted and Angie are also instrumental in providing over 7,000 hours of training to equip foster families, church volunteers, and even state employees. Their vision is clear: every child deserves access to a Christ-centered home, a supportive family, and compassionate care. Fueled by their faith, the Stackpoles continue to lead with compassion and dedication, seeing their work as a divine calling to transform the lives of vulnerable children and families.
