    • About Us

    Our Mission

    Georgia Baptist Children's Homes and Family Ministries is a Christian caring ministry of services designed to promote the spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being of children, youth, and families.

    We believe it's a privilege to serve.

    We love that we get to be where God has called us and to work in the capacities He's placed us.


    While the children and families in our care are left with impressions that are often difficult and deep-rooted, it's a joyfully rewarding experience to be with them during this season of their lives.

    Sanctuary Model of Care®

    HOW WE CARE FOR OUR CLIENTS

    The Sanctuary Model of Care® is a nationally recognized framework for providing care with a trauma-informed and trauma-responsive perspective. Acknowledging that adversity is universal to all of us, and these experiences often shape how people behave, we also understand that individuals are resilient and healing is possible.


    Appreciating the effects of these past experiences, we change the question of “What’s wrong with you?” to a focus on “What’s happened to you?” Based on the knowledge that overcoming trauma, stress, and adversity requires creating an environment that promotes safety and healing, Sanctuary® utilizes interactive tools to change the way we go about working together, thinking together, acting together, and living together.
