Our staff cares for children from birth to fifteen years of age who have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment in their family. Individualized treatment plans are designed to address the medical, educational, emotional, spiritual, and social needs of each child. These children are taught to believe in their future while dealing with the trauma of their past, and we desire to show them that God can cause good to come out of every circumstance.

FAMILY ATMOSPHERE
Children who come to CHFC are placed in a home designed to provide relaxed, supportive, family-style living. Primary care givers, called Teaching Parents, live with the children and provide a nurturing, family setting based on biblical principles.

Christ’s Home is uniquely positioned to care for the needs of sibling groups thereby encouraging a commitment to the family unit. The children attend local public schools and participate in family-style activities such as meal preparation, age appropriate chores, day trips, church, community activities, and clubs.

FAMILY REUNIFICATION
The primary goal of the children’s program at Christ’s Home is to reunite children with their families. Our program provides for routine visits of the children with their families and CHFC care givers interact with the family to communicate the needs of each child and how to meet them. When circumstances prohibit children from returning to their parents, Christ’s Home participates in finding a permanent home for the children.

The program is designed to teach the children appropriate behavior through the instruction and personal example of the Teaching Parents. The Christ’s Home community works together to reinforce the message of God’s love for them and to provide a model of normal family living.

The Campus in Paradise, Lancaster County PA was an 11 acre estate donated to us in 1935

TRAINED AND DEDICATED STAFF
Teaching Parents receive the necessary skills to minister to the children’s needs through pre-service and annual training designed by the Teaching Family Association.

The residential child care program incorporates quality therapeutic services that support the children and their families such as: individual, group, and family therapy services, as well as art and play therapy.
