Through
our campus in Monroe, your
Louisiana Baptist Children's Home seeks to grow children God's
way.
The
Home's mission is to build confidence and self-respect in each
child's mind and heart and replace the uncertainty and fear with
a smile and laughter, endeavoring to restore a child's faith in
himself, faith in others and faith in God.
Attention
is given to the growth of each child physically, mentally, emotionally
and spiritually. A well-balanced program of work, play, study
and discipline is seasoned with love and prayerful concern. An
emphasis is placed on a vital, personal faith in Christ through
regular church attendance, house devotions and personal Bible
study.
Louisiana Baptist Children's Home support staff provides dietetic,
medical, specialized training and administrative skills. The cottage
parents and staff seek to protect, nurture and restore children
and families through Christ-centered service.
Since
1899, children have found a place of refuge at your Children's
Home.
Through the continued support of the many Louisiana Baptists and
other friends of children, the Home will continue serving hurting
children and their families for as long as there is a need.
Referrals
are as simple as a phone call. The Children's Home learns of children
in need of care through concerned adults. Applications for admission
are sent upon request. |

| On campus,
children live in ten "family-style" cottages with
as many as twelve children living in each cottage. Children
at the Home range in age from kindergarten to 12th grade.
Cottages are directed by a Christian couple who serve as cottage
parents. Cottage parents provide understanding and guidance. |
