Free Will Baptist Children's Home

Alternative family placement - our residential care program provides a loving, traditional Home atmosphere for youth in a nurturing environment. Case management provides them with professional services to work toward goals based on physical, spiritual, educational, and emotional needs. Cottage staff provides support and encouragement to help youth become successful in making life-changing decisions and develop lasting relationships with family and peers.

Bridge learning center - our bridge learning center is a pre-k, before/after school and summer program serving pre-k - 5th grade children in our community. Bridge learning center works together as a family (adminstration, staff and parents) to provide the best enviornment for each child. Our goal is to provide positive relationships within the community and to nurture the children in all aspects of development including cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development.

Foster care/adoption - our foster care services recruit and train foster families to care for youth. These licensed homes provide a stable and nurturing environment to help support families in crisis and work toward reunification. When reunification is not possible, our staff provides adoption support for foster families who desire to give youth a forever Home.

Thrive independent living - our independent living program provides stable and secure apartments on campus for youth 18 and up. Staff work with youth to obtain driver's licenses, develop life skills and work toward educational and employment goals. These goals are designed to prepare youth for independent adulthood and encourage them to build positive relationships.

Children's services - this program provides a warm, nurturing environment with full-time cottage parents who teach our children beginning independent living skills, such as organizational, money and time management skills, as well as social skills and self advocacy skills. It provides a highly-disciplined environment and positive feedback that encourages adolescents to change negative behavior and attitudes to be more considerate, and respectful of norms.
