STRENGTHENING FAMILIES ACROSS ILLINOIS BY SHARING HOPE IN CHRIST

Since 1918, Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services (BCHFS) has been a source of hope and healing, strengthening families across Illinois by sharing hope in Christ. 

For the parents whose teen is struggling, the child whose home is no longer safe, the young woman facing an unexpected pregnancy, the infertile couple whose greatest dream is to be Mom and Dad, or the individual or family in need of counseling – BCHFS is here to help.

The five ministries that make up our mission: Angels’ Cove; Baptist Children’s Home Residential Services, Faith Adoption Ministry, GraceHaven Pregnancy Resource Clinic, and Pathways Counseling
