WHERE WE HAVE BEEN
Our Mission: Image
In 1969 Central Texas Children’s Home began as a promise to help troubled boys have a second chance.
Since then we’ve devoted our efforts to providing a safe haven for boys and girls impacted by trauma, abuse, neglect, abandonment, and homelessness.
“Our ministry is now about reconciliation (II Cor. 5:11-21), mending divides to strengthen families.”
We help children and their families learn to adjust, adapt, and overcome the pain of their past. As we teach those in need how to be healthy in the present and prepared to serve in the future, we remind them that God has plans for them.

WHERE WE ARE NOW
Our Mission: Image
With over 50 years of combined experience in caring for children and their families, our Christian Child Care staff and House Parents are devoted to making an impact on the lives of young people. At Central Texas Children’s Home, we find ourselves in a blessed position of stability and growth.
“Together, we address children’s spiritual, physical, educational, and emotional needs with a infusion of God’s love.”
The Central Texas Children’s Home has surged forward with upgraded equipment, renovated buildings and grounds, with two vans available for use by the cottage homes on campus. We've also bolstered our commitment to addressing the spiritual lives of our children by providing personal Bibles, weekly Bible devotionals, and regular opportunities to attend church on Sundays and Wednesdays.
“We’ve embarked on a new methodology of helping children and their families address the terrible things that have occurred in their lives.”
Trauma Informed Care enables and empowers children and families with an understanding of the impact trauma has made on their lives. This process identifies the unsuccessful behavioral triggers and scripts traumatized individuals have been playing out, then gives them the tools to conquer these triggers, re-write their scripts, and ultimately claim victory over trauma.
The Central Texas Children’s Home has heard and responded to the cries of those often marginalized with the love of the Lord.

WHERE WE ARE GOING
Our Mission: Image
Children need education, support, guidance, and a relationship with God through Christ to enable their transition into successful adults. We have developed a mentor program with members of the church and local community who will be Godly role models and provide relationship support to the children served, while continuing to train all staff members in the techniques needed to assist those that have suffered dramatic traumas.
“As always, we will be going to the Lord in prayer.”
Central Texas Children’s Home has established the Maurice Kemper Endowment to provide financial support to help teens through transitional living services. Our plan is to measure young peoples’ needs and account for those things we can provide, while expanding our services in this area.
Central Texas Children’s Home has its sights set on one day hosting a foster care program, teaching Christian parenting classes, and providing Christian counseling to families and individuals in need. We plan to continue our legacy of being keenly sensitive to the needs of children and families.
