The Church is once again collecting donations for the Baptist Children's Home.
Food will be collected from November 5 until November 19, 2023. Donatiosn can be dropped off at the station set up at church to recieve them.
Baptist Children's Home mission statement is:
Providing Christian Care and Counsel for Family Living
At Baptist Children's Home they bring hope to hurting and troubled children and families, striving to teach them how to live godly in spite of painful or seemingly unfair circumstances.
They provide this hope through group home and foster home care for children, Christian family and/or personal counseling, adoptive services, and care for pre-born children. In short, if it affects the family, BCH is there to help.
Baptist Children's Home was called into existence in 1955 by churches seeking assistance in caring for families and children. BCH, according to the biblical mandate in James 1:27 to "Care for the Fatherless", answered this call and today cares for more than 800 children in the United States, India, Southeast Asia and Liberia.
