Caring for children & families is holy—and hard. We launched a quarterly training series on child welfare & family advocacy, starting with a conversation about biblical rhythms of rest with @jeddmedefind of @cafo_official. Grateful for this partnership 💙

If foster care or adoption is close to your heart, keep an eye out — we have an exciting announcement coming early next month. 🙌

Throwback to 1984 — the year BCH adopted the handprint logo that has represented our mission ever since. A child's hands. That's who we are. 🤲 #BCHFamily #TBT

God gave us amazing brains that can think, feel, and choose. When life feels tough, focusing on what you can control helps you build new pathways in your brain. This is called neuroplasticity—your thoughts truly matter!

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month—and we’re so grateful. 💛

To every volunteer who gives their time, energy, and heart to serve children and families through BCH… thank you.

Because of you, children feel seen. Families feel supported. And the love of Christ is made known.

We’re thankful for the Associational Missions Strategists across North Carolina who support Baptist Children’s Homes. They are key partners for reaching and equipping churches across our state to take the gospel to the vulnerable.

Have you ever considered foster care?

We’re hosting two upcoming interest meetings in Eastern NC where you can learn what it really looks like to foster—and how you can get started.

🗓 Choose a location:
Temple Church (New Bern, NC) → https://t.co/4lh0kQKwzW
Forest Hills Church (Burgaw, NC) → https://t.co/OKmOjwQm2n

No pressure. Just information, stories, and a chance to ask questions.

Your “yes” could change a child’s life.

At Baptist Children’s Homes, the table is more than a place to share a meal — it’s a place where Christ’s love makes room for every child who needs hope. ❤️

Lamar Grimes knows this firsthand. As a boy, he scavenged dumpsters to feed his younger siblings, doing everything he could to keep them safe and cared for. When a children’s home welcomed them in, he found not only food — but family, stability, and the love of Jesus. Today, Lamar and his wife Nancy serve as cottage parents, offering that same compassion to the children God places in their care.

This is why Food Round Up matters.

Every can… every box… every donation ensures that children in our care never have to wonder where their next meal will come from. You help us surround them with full plates, full hearts, and the full hope of Christ.

🍎 Join the 2025 Food Round Up! Your church, business, or community group can make a life‑changing impact.

We’re thankful for the opportunity to partner with Rich Fork Church this past weekend to host a trauma-informed training.

Churches play such an important role in caring for children and families in our communities. By learning how trauma impacts behavior and relationships, we can respond with greater understanding, compassion, and the love of Christ.

Thank you to Rich Fork Church for opening your doors and for your heart to serve children and families well. We’re grateful for churches that are committed to learning, growing, and walking alongside those who need support.

If your church is interested in hosting a trauma-informed training, we’d love to connect with you. Learn more at https://t.co/MBPQzk0uHh.
