Partnering With Churches to Care for Children and Families
Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina works alongside churches to bring the hope of the gospel to children and families in need across our state.
The Church Has Always Been God’s Plan
From the earliest days of Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina, churches have been at the heart of this ministry.
God designed the church to care for the vulnerable, strengthen families, and bring the hope of the gospel to those who need it most. Together, we share that calling.
Across North Carolina, churches partner with BCH in many ways—praying for children and families, serving through volunteer opportunities, equipping members through training, and supporting the mission through generosity.
Every church can play a role.
Every believer can do something.
How Your Church Can Engage
Whether your church is just learning about BCH or has partnered for years, there are meaningful ways your congregation can be involved in caring for children and families.
Every Child Foster & Adoption Ministry
We believe the church plays a vital role in ensuring every child has a safe and loving home.Through Every Child, BCH works with pastors and church leaders to encourage and support families who feel called to foster or adopt.This ministry helps churches create a culture of care where children and families are supported by the body of Christ.
Invite BCH to Share With Your Church
A BCH representative would be honored to visit your church and share how God is working through Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina.
During these visits, churches learn how lives are being transformed through foster care, adoption, residential care, and family ministries—and how their congregation can be part of this work.
