SUPPORTING YOUTH. STRENGTHENING FUTURES. SERVING TOGETHER.

Friends in Faith is a collaborative initiative that brings together local churches and faith leaders to directly support and encourage the youth at American Children's Home.

Through prayer, relationships, service, and financial support, this partnership helps provide stability, hope, and opportunity for the children and young adults in care.

How Friends in Faith Supports Youth

Children Praying Together

Prayer Covering

Participants commit to regularly praying for the children, staff, and specific needs of the Home, creating a foundation of spiritual support.

Consistent Encouragement

Churches provide ongoing support through cards, group visits, and shared activities, helping create an environment where all youth feel seen, valued, and supported.

Hands-On Service

Volunteers assist with events, campus projects, and special activities that enrich daily life for the youth.

Life Skills & Growth Opportunities

Churches provide ongoing support through cards, group visits, and shared activities, helping create an environment where all youth feel seen, valued, and supported.

Celebrations & Special Moments

Churches help make birthdays, holidays, and milestones meaningful, ensuring each child experiences joy and belonging.

Get Involved

Together, through prayer, service, and generosity, we can provide hope, build confidence, and help shape a brighter future — one child at a time.

Financial Support That Sustains the Mission

While relationships and service are vital, financial contributions are essential to keep the doors open and our children happy, healthy, and cared for. Churches are encouraged to support through:

  • Monthly or annual giving commitments

  • Sponsorship of events or campus needs

  • Special offerings or designated giving days

  • Encouraging individual members to give

Invite ACH to Speak at Your Church

 

American Children’s Home would be grateful for the opportunity to visit your church and share more about the work happening right here in our community.

During these visits, your congregation can learn about the children and families served through ACH, including residential care, family foster care, and Evans Child Development Center. We can also share more about the need for foster families, what it means to become a foster parent, and how your church can support children and families in care.

Whether your congregation is interested in learning more, praying for our mission, serving through volunteer opportunities, giving, or exploring foster care, we would love the chance to connect with you.

Thank you to our Friends in Faith.

Thank you to the churches who attended our first Friends in Faith gathering. We are grateful for your time, encouragement, prayers, and shared heart for supporting children and families in our community.
