Building Homes Where Children
FLOURISH
Every child deserves to feel safe
The children at TBCH are more often coming into our care from increasingly traumatic circumstances, and many of them have experienced abuse. Studies indicate that as many as 39% of abused children are revictimized, and a home designed to provide the safety of individual bedrooms and bathrooms is a simple and practical way to minimize that risk. Our goal is to provide the safest and healthiest environment we can as a firm foundation on which these children can flourish.
And we need your help.
With your support, the Firm Foundations Project will replace our aging facilities with brand new campus homes, including a private bedroom and bathroom for each child.

Testimonial
“I tell anyone who asks that the Children’s Homes saved my life...
They provided shelter at a time when shelter and care were thin on the ground in my life. It was the first time that I recall getting three meals a day, every day. I was a malnourished 8-year-old abuse victim. You don’t forget the people who saved your life.”

About Tennessee Baptist Children’s Homes
Christ-centered homes for children in hard places
Children matter. Since 1891, TBCH has welcomed children in hard places with the love of Christ. Today we serve children in homes on our three residential campuses, and support foster homes in more than 50 communities across Tennessee. We do not receive any government funding, we operate debt-free, and we are donor-supported.
The Firm Foundations Project is developed by The Riverstone Group
