Overview
Mission
Our mission is to provide a stable, long-term, christ-centered traditional home for boys and girls in crisis and who are in need of a safe and nurturing environment. We seek to surround those children with adults, who will love, care for, and support them, so they may overcome their challenges and problems and grow into their god-given potential, while having a place to call their own. We are committed to privately-funded, non-governmental child care which keeps siblings together.
