Methodist Home for Children

Our mission, in service to God, is to build upon the social, physical, emotional, and spiritual strengths of children, youth, and families, and to affirm their worth.

Methodist Home for Children now serves more than 1,000 children and families each year through an array of community-based services and resources which:

• ensure that children grow up in safe, loving homes • educate parents and caregivers about how best to nurture children and young adults • help young people navigate adolescence • work to eradicate the social and family problems that lead to abuse, neglect, family disruption, and child abandonment

We serve all children and families regardless of their religion, race, ethnic background, or economic status. Our services include family-based counseling, community-based residential youth homes, childcare consultation, training, and services, substance abuse services, foster care, therapeutic foster care, and adoption. We use a values-based model of care that promotes honesty, respect, responsibility, empowerment, compassion, and spirituality.
