Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services is a faith-based Christian organization. We provide Christ-centered care and support to children and families in need. We strive to serve like Jesus. We focus on our clients’ strengths rather than their weaknesses. And we encourage our clients to focus on their futures rather than their pasts. We help our clients find hope and know the love of God.
We started in 1914 when four Presbyterian ministers in Farmington saw a need for an orphanage due to all the mining accidents in that region. As years passed, we created additional programs throughout the state of Missouri with the biggest focus on child abuse, neglect and abandonment.
Now serving approximately 4,500 at-risk children and families across Missouri, Texas and Louisiana, we work diligently to provide children of all ages with permanent homes and help parents achieve self-sufficiency. We are always seeking more effective approaches to help our children heal and prosper. Recently when we saw that the needs of the Farmington community and St. Francois County had changed, we responded with several new programs and methods of treatment to give each child and family the opportunity to find their strengths, overcome obstacles and build futures.
