Every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story.

Who we are
Childhaven is a Christian Children’s Home, serving adolescents who are in need of a safe, Christian, family-like environment that is designed to transform their lives. Faith building is at the core of our existence, and each resident will be actively involved in the life of the church. Our campus includes programs serving teen Moms and their babies, maternity clients, and girls ages fourteen and older.
Youth are placed here through
no fault of their own.
Our clients need a safe place to live,
free from physical, emotional, sexual,
and/or substance abuse.
What we do
At Childhaven, we hope to give our clients the opportunity to know the grace and love of Christ. We provide safety through shelter, food, clothing, and supervision, and we teach skills necessary for a successful and independent future. Ultimately, we seek to build healthy relationships in hopes of helping our clients overcome trauma.
