Services Basics

Since 1886, Missouri Baptist Children’s Home has been responding to the needs of hurting children and youth. One hundred twenty-one years ago the needed response was an orphanage for abandoned and orphaned infants.  More than a century has passed and an orphanage for infants is no longer the greatest need. Today our most critical concern is the disintegration of the family unit. Child abuse, abandonment, behavioral problems and emotional disturbances bring hundreds of children to the Children’s Home each year.

MBCH Children and Family Ministries is the nonprofit, tax-exempt subsidiary of Missouri Baptist Children’s Home that provides programs and services for children, youth and families. We offer our services to anyone regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, handicap or income. The current scope of services includes, long-term residential care for children age 6-18, 30-day emergency care for children age 6-14, Pregnancy Counseling and Supportive Services Program, Transitional Living Program for both girls and boys age 16-21, family counseling and foster/adoptive placements.

Through each of these programs, the goal of MBCH Children and Family Ministries is to meet the changing needs of society’s children, youth and families. With service locations in Branson, Bridgeton, East Prairie, Jefferson City, Joplin, Lee’s Summit, Mt. Vernon, Peculiar, Springfield and St. Joseph, MBCH Children and Family Ministries is privileged to serve children and their families from across the state. 

In 2006, 300 children were served on one of our three campuses and 455 additional children were served through off-campus programs. We provided 143,180 days of service delivery in 2006 -- an increase of 52% over 2005.

As the years go by, and the needs of children continually change, MBCH Children and Family Ministries remains committed to “Making a Difference . . . one child at a time.”
