Baptist Children's Home
and Family Services

Our Support
Baptist Children's Home & Family Services is supported by the gifts of individuals, churches and other organizations throughout Illinois and beyond.  BCHFS receives neither state purchase of care funding nor Southern Baptist Cooperative Program monies. The following are ways in which you can be directly involved in the ministry.

1. Prayer Support -- Prayer support is vital to the ministry of Baptist Children's Home & Family Services. We appreciate all who will petition the Father on behalf of the children and families we serve on a daily basis. Please pray for wisdom, strength and direction for our staff and leadership.

2. Direct Financial Gifts -- BCHFS exists because of the generosity of churches and individuals who seek to invest directly in the ministry. BCHFS is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As such, gifts of cash, stock, real estate or other personal property are fully tax deductible. You may contact our development office directly or donate securely online through our web site. You may also download a copy of our remittance form to send your donation in by mail.

3. Automatic Transfer -- Baptist Children's Home and Family Services is pleased to offer a convenient way for supporters to make a regular gift to the ministry. We can arrange an automatic transfer from your bank account directly to BCHFS each month. You can terminate or alter the arrangement at any time. For information, e-mail Lowell Huffstutler at lhuff@bchfs.com or call 618-382-4164 ext. 103.

4. Volunteer Your Time -- There are numerous ways to physically "get involved" in the ministry. From the tutoring and mentoring of children to maintenance and landscaping projects, you are needed to lend a hand in ministry. What's more, with locations throughout Illinois, we probably have a location close to you! Let us know of your interest and we'll find a way for God to use you as a BCHFS volunteer.
