Welcome to Baptist Children's
Home and Family Services

Our mission is to care for children who have been abused, abandoned, neglected or in crisis. Additionally, we seek to bring new hope and new health to families needing help coping with parenting and/or other social issues. Our support comes in many forms and we appreciate all that the area churches, associations and individuals do for us.

"Orphaned children all over the world are waiting... hoping... praying that they will become dear to someone. That somewhere there will be one special family that finds delight and great joy in welcoming them into their home! Each one waits expectantly with a hopeful heart for a family to come, each tiny soul daring to silently rehearse secret dreams for the future.”

SUCCESS STORIES:
A New Life Begins for Sarah

When Sarah was growing up she watched her parents “party” all the time by abusing alcohol and drugs. So when Sarah was 14 years old and introduced to alcohol and marijuana by her “friends,” it seemed like a perfectly normal thing to do. Within a year she was in deep trouble.

Sarah was in the court system by the time she turned 15 years old. It would prove to be the first of many times in the next six years that she would find herself in the justice system leaving behind an extensive criminal record. All charges were drug related.
