PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE 

Measuring success at MCH 

As president of Methodist Children’s Home, the most frequent question I am asked is, “What is 

your success rate?” Since this question is unique to each child’s circumstances, it is difficult to 

provide a simple answer. I experienced two events on campus in recent months that reminded me 

that success can be measured in different ways. 

This past Easter, we hosted the annual alumni Homecoming. Although there have typically been 

more of the older alumni in attendance, I noticed an increase in the number of younger alumni 

who returned to campus this year. Many alumni brought their families to see the campus and meet 

their friends from the Home. Alumni expressed their appreciation for the Home and the education 

and support they received while living here.

President 

Q & A with Tim Brown 

This issue of Sunshine 

features the final interview 

in a three-part Q & A series 

with Tim Brown, president 

of MCH. The Q & A begins on 

page 2. 

We graduated 44 high school seniors in June, and 113 graduating seniors and returning college 

students were approved for scholarships for the fall semester. In addition to financial support 

provided by the Home, we expect all of our students to contribute to their education by applying for 

other scholarships and working while they attend school. Many of the students in our graduating 

class would admit they out-performed their own expectations. In addition to their academic 

success, they achieved significant personal growth. We have students who contributed countless 

hours of voluntary community service, and most of our seniors worked off-campus jobs. Many of 

these students have a true appreciation for the blessings they have received through the Home, 

including safety, shelter, healthy meals, education, spiritual growth, recreation, counseling, 

medical care, advocates and friendships that will last a lifetime. 

For most of these youth, their appreciation for the Home did not exist when they arrived in our 

care. Some were scared, angry or depressed by an overall sense of hopelessness. Many were 

behind in school due to family circumstances, learning disabilities or poor choices and behavior. 

When some of these children came to us, they were reeling from death of a family member, 

trauma, sexual assault, family violence, bullying, homelessness, poverty or incarceration of a 

parent. Others had to grow up too quickly as they were forced to care for younger siblings as their 

single parent worked two jobs to support their family. Some of these youth were raised by their 

grandparents, who were ill-equipped to care for young children. 

When we consider that the average length of stay at the Home is less than two years, youth have 

a short time to “be successful” as they work to overcome their personal challenges. In addition to 

dealing with emotional or behavioral issues, they must quickly adjust to a new living environment, 

get back on track academically, develop self-confidence and social skills, learn independent living 

skills, and make plans for college, the workforce or military. 

In spite of these challenges, our children are amazingly resilient, and they have an unquenchable 

desire to be successful and to not repeat abusive patterns or past mistakes. If you knew the sagas 

and stories of our children, you would not only be extremely proud of their accomplishments 

and the courage they demonstrate daily, but you would be proud of the investment you continue 

to make in their lives. Their success is made possible through the commitment and skills of an 

amazing staff, terrific resources, and the prayers and financial support of friends like you. 

MISSION STATEMENT 

Methodist Children’s Home 

offers hope to children, youth 

and families through a 

nurturing, Christian community. 

This annual report issue of Sunshine provides an overview of many of the blessings God has 

provided in the lives of our children, youth and staff during the past year. As you read this report, 

please know that your support, prayers and belief in our mission and ministry are critical to the 

success of the children, youth and families in our care. God bless you!

A DAY TO REMEMBER 

Boys Ranch youth enjoyed a day of water activities in Fort Worth at a 

special event hosted by In His Wakes Ministries in May. Called “A Day to 

Remember,” the event gives youth an opportunity to enjoy a variety of 

water sports and listen to Christian testimonies from staff members of

Q & A WITH TIM BROWN 

Sharing the vision: 

An interview with 

MCH President Tim Brown 

In this final interview of the three-part series, Tim Brown discusses 

his vision for Methodist Children’s Home, including the new 

Strategic Plan and a partnership with Texas Christian University. 

As you complete your first 

year as president of MCH, 

you have spent time thinking 

about the Home’s mission 

and ways we offer hope 

to children and families. 

What aspect of this ministry 

is especially meaningful 

to you? 

One of the great benefits 


offers youth is the opportunity 

to create an appetite and passion 

for new things they never 

would have been exposed to had 

they not come to the Home. It 

is a blessing to see their faces 

light up or the twinkle begin 

to appear in their eyes as they 

move beyond anger and a sense 

of hopelessness to discover that 

there is potential for peace, 

meaning, purpose, fulfillment 

and creativity in life. 

When you speak about 

Methodist Children’s Home, 

you often talk about the rich 

heritage of this ministry. 

What makes MCH special? 

First of all, we have good 

employees who are competent 

and capable in their field of service 

and committed to offering 

hope to children and youth. 

Everyone does their job and 

pulls their load. The success of 

this ministry is also a testimony 

to the leadership of our Board 

of Directors, the wisdom and 

legacy of our previous administrators, 

and the faithful support 

of our benefactors. It is my 

privilege to help us stay focused 

on our mission, build on our 

strengths, and introduce new 

tools and opportunities that will 

enable us to meet the challenging 

needs of at-risk children 

and youth in a more effective 

and efficient way. 

What are some of the 

greatest challenges facing 

children and youth today? 

I tend to agree with a recent 

national report, titled 

“Hardwired to Connect,” that 

identifies two of the biggest 

needs for children and youth in 

our society: authoritative communities 

and moral and spiritual 

meaning. 

MCH President Tim Brown and other administrators recently gave a tour 

of the Waco campus to Dr. Karyn Purvis, director of the Institute of Child 

Development at Texas Christian University, and her staff. MCH and the 

Institute have formed a partnership that will enable TCU to share its 

expertise in attachment and healing relationships with the staff at MCH. 

ing a message to youth that it is 

‘not cool’ to believe in God, go 

to church or serve others in the 

name of Jesus Christ. 


serves as an authoritative community 

for the youth in our 

care. Our employees have an 

awesome responsibility to help 

youth gain a sense of belonging 

and feel nurtured and cared for. 

In many cases, we have to mitigate 

against negative messages 

or information youth received 

before they came into our care. 

And, we must provide every 

opportunity for youth to understand 

God’s love for them and 

discover the role and benefits of 

moral and spiritual meaning in 

their life. 

You recently led MCH 

through a strategic planning 

process. What do you 

hope the Home accomplishes 

through this five-year 

Strategic Plan? 

The Strategic Plan will help us 

streamline our services so we 

Authoritative communities 

are places where youth can go 

to build positive relationships 

with adults and get accurate 

information about issues they 

face. These would include places 

such as boys and girls clubs, 

churches and school organizations 

that are led by competent, 

committed and caring adults. In 

opposition, our society is sendcan 

function more efficiently as 

an organization, educate and 

equip our staff to incorporate 

current research and techniques 

in working with at-risk youth, 

and create an atmosphere of 

intentionality, deliberateness 

and urgency about doing the 

right things for our youth. 

I am excited to have the 

opportunity to take the wisdom, 

history and foundation 

laid by previous administrators 

to the next level so we can 

offer wounded and hurting children 

and families resources 

they have never had before. I 

also look forward to utilizing the 

skills, knowledge and expertise 

of our staff in new and dynamic 

ways as we continue to inspire 

youth to make positive changes 

in their lives as they become all 

God wants them to be. 

Why did you make strategic 

planning a priority in your 

first year as president? 

I think organizations often take 

on the personality of the indi-

Q & A WITH TIM BROWN 


2011-2015 Strategic Plan Summary 

vidual who leads them. When 

that individual leaves the organization, 

the people who followed 

that person tend to drift 

away, too, if there is not something 

that attracts them or 

gives them the same sense of 

fulfillment they felt under the 

previous leader. The Bible and 

many other books on management 

and leadership show that 

unless you have a plan, you are 

going to fail. If we can keep our 

five-year Strategic Plan active 

and relevant, then our course 

will be laid out and it will provide 

predictability and security. 

The Strategic Plan will keep 

the work we do viable and 

meaningful. 

The Strategic Plan calls MCH 

to incorporate research 

and training in neuroscience 

and trauma-informed 

care into our program of 

care. Much of this work will 

come through a partnership 

with the Institute of 

Child Development at Texas 

Christian University. Why is 

this partnership important 

to the Home? 

I am reading and learning a 

great deal about the impact of 

trauma on the developmental 

stages of brain growth in children, 

which is the basis for the 

work of the Institute of Child 

STRATEGIC PLAN 

Development, led by my friend, 

Dr. Karyn Purvis. 

This relationship with TCU 

will provide an exciting opportunity 

for us to gain insight into 

new methods, techniques and 

ways to interact with children 

that will positively impact their 

brain development. TCU’s work 

in attachment and healing relationships 

is consistent with our 

mission and strength-based 

philosophy of care, and I am 

confident this partnership will 

enable us to serve children more 

effectively and impact healthy 

growth and proper brain development 

and functioning in 

future generations. 

While this partnership will 

involve research, Methodist 

Children’s Home will not 

become an organization that 

treats youth as though they are 

laboratory experiment subjects. 

We recognize that scientific 

research and information 

is also God-given. We will take 

the knowledge that God has 

given us, pray about it and use 

it to respond in a way to help 

our youth become all that God 

ever wanted them to be. Our 

approach in working with youth 

will always be based on competence, 

skill, knowledge, wisdom, 

God’s love and biblical 

principles.

MCH provides a variety of 

opportunities that enable 

youth and staff to build 

positive relationships.

Residential 

Services 

MCH offers residential care on the Waco campus, Boys Ranch and Waxahachie campus. 

Group care enables youth to build positive relationships with caring staff members who are 

committed to their personal growth and success. Residents range in age from 12 to 18, however 

youth must be younger than 18 to be considered for admission. The average length of 

stay in our residential programs is 16 months. Youth live in homes served by homeparents 

and a unit manager or in homes supervised by a unit manager and a youth care staff that 

rotates throughout the day. 

Reasons to 

choose MCH for 

residential care 

Methodist Children’s Home is 

a Christian organization with a 

strong spiritual component. 

Our strength-based philosophy of 

care is innovative and proven to 

be effective. 

Services are diversified and we 

offer an individualized plan of 

development, including education, 

for all youth. 

MCH exhibits longevity and 

financial security. 

Our program is affordable for 

anyone because of our sliding 

scale fee. 

No youth is ever turned away 

due to financial concerns. 

WACO CAMPUS 

The Waco campus consists of 

130 acres in the northwest part 

of the city. The campus is the 

original location of the Home. 

MCH can serve up to 170 youth 

in 16 homes on the Waco campus, 

which also includes administrative 

offices and a chapel, 

charter school, gym and other 

recreation facilities. 

BOYS RANCH 

MCH serves up to 50 youth at 

our 500-acre Boys Ranch, which 

is located about 10 miles northeast 

of Waco. The Boys Ranch 

includes six home units, administrative 

offices, a recreation 

and activities center, a variety 

of livestock pens and barns, 

horse arena and dining hall. 

• VIEW CAMPUS PHOTO GALLERY: http://www.methodistchildrenshome.org/page/photos.aspx 

WAXAHACHIE CAMPUS 

MCH serves up to 40 youth in 

five homes on the campus of 

Presbyterian Children’s Homes 

and Services. MCH utilizes our 

strength-based philosophy that 

is consistent with the Waco 

campus and Boys Ranch. Youth 

and staff often come to Waco 

to participate in activities with 

other MCH residents. 

Basic care or structured care? The residential program offers basic 

care and structured care. Youth in both programs can fully participate in 

activities at MCH. Youth in basic care homes are served by homeparents, 

who live in the home with their youth. Basic care youth have more independence 

than youth in structured care. Youth in structured care require 

more intense supervision due to their behavior and needs. Structured homes 

utilize a shift-work model, which consists of staff who rotate throughout 

the day. Every home has a unit manager, a licensed social worker who works 

with child care staff to meet the individual needs of youth. 

Through recent collaboration 

and expansion in Waxahachie, 

MCH offers another choice for 

youth to be in closer proximity 

to their families. 

MCH’s residential services provides 

a continuum of care that 

extends to a strong transition 

services program for youth. 

MCH offers one of the most successful 

residential service programs 

in the state. Thus, our 

program should be strongly considered 

as a positive alternative 

for youth who need out-of-home 

care and as a family reunification 

approach to child care. 

MCH is committed to using outcome 

data and evidence-based 

approaches through our innovative 

strength-based and traumainformed 

care.

WORDS OF HOPE 

“I learned that 

becoming a 

Christian is not 

about being 

perfect; it’s about 

God accepting 

us for who we are.” 

Josh Shepard 

MCH, Class of 2011 

“I was blessed 

that my family 

found MCH. Not 

only did the Home 

give me hope for 

a new life, it also 

gave me a passion 

to use my life to 

serve others.” 

Heather Reed 

MCH, Class of 2005 

Texas A&M University, 2009 

Religious Education 

The Religious Education 

(R.E.) Department leads the 

MCH community in Christian 

worship. This includes carrying 

out worship services 

and events that convey the 

good news of Jesus Christ. 

The department is led by a 

chaplain, religious education 

director and music director. 

WORSHIP: Youth from the 

Waco campus and Boys 

Ranch attend worship services 

in Harrell Memorial 

Chapel. During low-census 

periods, home units are invited 

to visit local churches. 

DISCIPLESHIP: The R.E. 

department offers Wednesday 

evening activities, which are 

optional for youth. Weekly 

Bible studies are offered at 

the Boys Ranch and in some 

home units, in addition to 

group devotionals. 

LEADERSHIP: Youth take leadership 

roles in worship. They 

serve as Acolytes and ushers, 

read scripture, lead prayers, 

participate in the worship 

band, present special music, 

and assist with audio and 

multimedia services. 

SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES: 

Youth enjoy opportunities to 

serve others through mission 

trips across Texas, and youth 

always look forward to our 

annual summer camp at Glen 

Lake Camp. 

MUSIC LESSONS: Our music 

director gives or coordinates 

music lessons in voice or on a 

variety of instruments. Youth 

take lessons in guitar, piano, 

bass, drums, violin, trumpet 

and trombone. 

WAXAHACHIE CAMPUS: 

Youth in Waxahachie attend 

worship services and participate 

in youth group activities 

at First United Methodist 

Church. MCH youth attend 

day trips, retreats and mission 

trips with FUMC youth. 

The church’s youth minister 

regularly visits our youth. 

Identifying spiritual needs: Each new resident is led through a Spirituality Assessment to help our staff 

determine the specific spiritual needs of our youth. In addition to teaching opportunities and group discussions 

about the Christian faith and spiritual development, our staff often provides one-time or short-term 

counseling on religious matters. The R.E. staff also lead short-term studies in preparation for baptism, write 

and distribute weekly devotional booklets, and teach a sex education program from a biblical perspective.

Educational Services 

Education is an important 

component of our program 

of care. Child care staff work 

closely with school administrators 

and teachers to ensure 

the individual educational 

needs of youth are met. 

Many of our youth have 

experienced academic problems 

due to a lack of educational 

support at home or 

other family issues, behavior 

issues or other challenges. 

MCH SCHOOL: Located on 

the Waco campus, the MCH 

School is operated in partnership 

with the University 

of Texas – University 

Charter School. About 160 

students from the Waco 

campus and Boys Ranch 

attend the school. 

The school is accredited by 

the Texas Education Agency 

(TEA), and all teachers are 

highly-qualified and state certified. 

The school has been rated 

“Academically Acceptable” 

by state standards for the past 

six years under the alternative 

reporting standard. The school 

serves students in grades 7-12 

and offers the state recommended 

high school graduation 

requirements. 

When the Boys Ranch 

students moved to the charter 

school in 2009-2010, the 

school created an Agriculture 

Department that previously 

was part of the Boys Ranch 

curriculum. This program provides 

an opportunity for Waco 

campus students to participate 

in FFA and show animals and 

enter shop projects in area 

competition. 

PUBLIC SCHOOLS: Child care 

staff and the school coordinator 

designate the assigned 

school (public or MCH) for 

each student based on school 

records, behavior history and 

academic interests. Thirty 

students attended seven 

public schools in the Waco 

Independent School District 

in 2010-2011. 

WAXAHACHIE: Youth in our 

program at Waxahachie are 

enrolled in local schools. Our 

child care staff work closely 

with school staff to develop 

appropriate educational 

plans for our youth. 

Extracurricular Activities: Our students are active leaders on their school campuses. Charter school students 

participate in UIL choir and academic contests, Student Council and the Principal’s Cabinet. Public school 

students are involved in Student Council, National Honor Society, debate, band, orchestra, athletics and drill 

team, among others.

MCH supports children 

and families across 

Texas and New Mexico 

through foster care or 

prevention services.

Community 

Services 

Staff members in Community Services help families during crisis situations by offering assistance 

that strengthens the family and supports each child’s healthy development. Services are 

offered through outreach offices in Abilene, Bedford, Corpus Christi, Crockett, Dallas, El Paso, 

Houston, Lubbock, San Antonio, Tyler, Waco, and Albuquerque, NM. Each outreach office 

provides support to families through Partnership in Parenting. Should families need foster 

care, each outreach office in Texas has case management staff to provide foster care services 

and help in the efforts toward family stability and reunification. 

Reasons to 

choose MCH for 

foster care 

We carefully screen, train and 

support foster families who will 

care for the children. 

We are faith-based. 

Families have a voice in the care 

of their children and are included 

in the decisions that affect 

their children while they are in 

foster care. 

We genuinely care about families, 

children and family reunification. 

Families are treated with dignity 

and respect. 

6.8 


biological families were surveyed 

about their satisfaction 

with their child’s care in our 

foster care program. 



PARTNERSHIP IN 

PARENTING 

The Partnership in Parenting 

(PIP) program offers services to 

families in their homes and communities 

to support a strong and 

resilient family structure. The 

multi-faceted program offers 

individualized assessment, case 

management, parenting support 

and prevention services to 

meet basic needs and promote 

child safety and family stability. 

Our staff members partner 

with families to help them overcome 

their individual challenges 

through a service plan, face-toface 

contact with a caring professional, 

skill-building opportunities, 

encouragement and 

support. PIP helps families develop 

a network of support in their 

community. 

FOSTER CARE 

MCH is licensed by the Texas 

Department of Family and 

Protective Services to provide 

foster care in Texas. The program 

is accredited by the Council on 

Accreditation (COA). Foster care 

provides a safe and nurturing 

home to support families while 

they work toward reunification. If 

reunification is not possible, outreach 

offices help children find a 

6.6

provided by our staff. 



safe, stable and nurturing permanent 

home. 

The foster care program 

can place children, ages 0-17, 

with licensed foster families in 

or close to their home community. 

Foster care services are 

meant to be short-term, ranging 

from 6-18 months, until parents 

can stabilize their circumstances 

and resume parenting. MCH 

accepts voluntary placements, 

in addition to placements 

through the Texas Department 

of Family and Protective 

Services for children removed 

from their homes due to allegations 

of abuse or neglect. 

64 

The number of counties in 

Texas where MCH provided foster 

care services to more than 

200 children last year. 

Families are provided with ongoing 

updates and communication 

through letters from our 

foster parents, weekly communication 

with a caseworker, and 

pictures and regular visitation 

with their child in a comfortable 

and kid-friendly place. 

Foster care staff responds quickly 

and professionally to all correspondence 

from foster and 

biological families. 

Foster parents and staff understand 

and value the importance 

of the family connections and 

how a child’s identity builds 

from their relationships with 

parents and other caregivers. 

WORDS OF HOPE 

“Having the support 

of my foster parents 

has been amazing. 

The only reason 

I am looking 

toward college is 

because of MCH.” 

Monica

Reasons foster 

parents choose 

our ministry 

Foster parents report being 

attracted to MCH because we 

are faith-based. 

Foster parents choose MCH 

because they were referred by 

a friend. 

Foster parents report being 

attracted to MCH because they 

see that the agency is committed 

to meeting the needs of 

children that are being served. 

MCH has an excellent reputation 

and is financially stable. 

Foster Care 

Foster families understand the 

difficult transition children 

face when they come into their 

homes, so they make every 

effort to help children become 

comfortable with their family. 

Foster families meet the needs 

of children in many ways, such 

as providing for their daily 

care, attending school events 

and parent meetings, celebrating 

birthdays and holidays, and 

transporting them to family 

visits and other appointments. 

Reasons foster parents 

remain with MCH: 

Foster parents express that 

they stay with MCH because 

they are supported by case 

managers who care about them 

and work with them to meet 

the needs of children that are 

placed in our care. 

Our staff takes extra steps to 

match children to homes based 

on information shared about 

the child and the knowledge of 

each foster family’s strengths. 

Foster care staff provides personal 

service, providing a network 

of support for the foster 

family. 

The foster family has 24-hour 

access to casework support. 

ACTIVITIES: Foster children 

get swept into an active family 

lifestyle with their foster 

family. Children participate 

in church activities, Scouts, 

band, sports, running clubs, 

karate, choir and swimming. 

Some of our children live with 

families out in the country, 

so they have opportunities 

to learn about farm animals. 

They also participate in community 

reading programs and 

Vacation Bible School. 

FAMILY VISITS: Children visit 

with their biological families in 

ways that are appropriate for 

their situation. The visits are 

determined by whether children 

are voluntary placements 

or CPS placements. For voluntary 

placements, visits may be 

unsupervised and children are 

often able to visit with their 

family in their home. If children 

are placed by CPS, visits 

may have to be supervised 

and can be more restrictive. 

Children may also be able 

to visit by telephone with family 

members. When appropriate, 

foster parents visit with 

the biological family about 

the child’s progress, medical 

issues or other topics relevant 

to the child’s care. 

FAMILY REUNIFICATION: 

Foster parents, biological 

parents and caseworkers talk 

with the children throughout 

placement about their plan 

for reunification with their 

family or an alternate plan 

when reunification is not possible. 

When it is time for a 

child to return home, MCH 

offers aftercare services to 

families who wish to participate. 

Staff members follow up 

with families after release and 

continue to offer case management 

services, including 

our Partnership-in-Parenting 

program. 

Foster care staff communicate 

regularly with foster parents. 

Foster parents are valued and 

esteemed for the care they 

provide children. 

“One of the best things for children is to 

know and be loved by their parent. Our foster 

parents understand the built-in need for 

a connection to a child’s biological parent.”

Ways we’re serving 

children, families 

Staff members in our 12 outreach 

offices serve children and families 

in a variety of ways. Here are 

a few recent examples: 

Abilene: We partnered with 

local agencies to lead 

a community workshop 

on bullying. 

Albuquerque: Our 

staff hold workshops for 

family preservation clients. 

We provide prizes that reflect 

the theme of the workshop, 

such as picnic items for a 

workshop about spending time 

together as a family. 

Bedford: Our office has helped 

families gain employment and 

health insurance, enabling them 

to become stabilized. 

Corpus Christi: We partnered 

with Healthy Marriage Coalition 

to offer parenting classes. 

Crockett: We help our foster 

parents find fun family events 

that are free or affordable. 

Dallas: We take foster children 

to visit their parents who are 

incarcerated in prison or jail. 

El Paso: Our staff spoke at a 

Career Day at a local middle 

school. This gave us an opportunity 

to educate school staff 

about our services. 

Houston: During our monthly 

visits in foster homes, we give 

the children cards or small gifts 

to recognize their success. 

Lubbock: We provide 

older children 

in our grandparents’ 

program the 

opportunity to attend 

church camp. 

San Antonio: Our staff makes a 

collage of pictures of our foster 

children at different developmental 

milestones to give to 

their biological parents. 

Tyler: Our staff helped plan 

kid-friendly events throughout 

East Texas that drew attention 

to Child Abuse Prevention and 

Awareness Month. We worked 

with Texas Department of Family 

and Protective Services and 

other resources to make these 

events fun and successful. 

Waco: Our staff visits a local 

foster home regularly to provide 

tutoring to one of our 

foster children.

Society for 2010-2011: 

Through our strength-based philosophy of care, staff members at Methodist Children’s Home

youth identify the things they do well and intentionally develop opportunities for them to use 

their strengths to achieve success. Our staff members are committed to building positive relationships 

with every child as they help them become all God wants them to be. In this section 

of our annual report, we recognize many of our youth for their accomplishments in school, 

extracurricular activities and campus life during the past year. Youth on the Waco campus and 

Boys Ranch attend either public school or the University of Texas – University Charter School 

at MCH. Youth in our Waxahachie program attend public school.

Circle of Friends 

Recognizing the friends of Methodist Children’s Home for outstanding contributions 

in the support of children throughout Texas and New Mexico 

What is the Circle Of Friends? 

The Circle of Friends was created by 

the Board of Directors in 1990 at the 

beginning of our second century of 

ministry to children. It is designed 

to give appropriate recognition and 

expressions of appreciation to those 

who generously support Methodist 

Children’s Home. The Circle of Friends 

does not include all gifts to the MCH 

endowment fund. 

Who can join the Circle of Friends? 

Individuals, churches, businesses, United 

Methodist Women and Men’s groups, 

Sunday School classes and civic organizations 

may be members of the Circle of 

Friends. 

What if I do not want my name 

publicly announced? 

In February, we mail a card to each donor 

asking for permission to list his or 

her name in our Circle of Friends. We 

only print the names of those who have 

returned the card, granting permission 

to print. We respect your privacy and the 

confidentiality of your gifts. At any time, 

you may indicate that you wish all gifts to 

remain unrecognized and we will mark 

your record accordingly. 

Will my church receive credit if I 

send my gift directly to the Home? 

Yes, when you request church credit. We 

routinely send all gifts back through the 

annual conference treasurer for church 

credit, just as your church treasurer does 

when a Methodist Children’s Home gift 

is given through the church. Please let us 

know the name of your church when you 

make your gift. 

Methodist Children’s Home does not 

receive any funds through apportionments. 

All giving to the Home is through 

the free will of those who love Methodist 

Children’s Home boys and girls and who 

give generously, above and beyond gifts 

to the local church. 

GIVING LEVELS 

Methodist Children’s Home has been 

blessed with a heritage of friends who 

we are pleased to recognize in the 

Circle of Friends.

The individual is the primary focus of fundraising efforts at 

Methodist Children’s Home. Nationally, more than 80% of all 

charitable gifts come from individuals, compared to nearly 8% 

from foundations and less than 7% from corporations. Our greatest 

support comes from individuals who care about children.

A PASSION FOR ART 

Kemzuel (K.J.) is developing his artistic talent through the summer enrichment program at Methodist Children’s Home. A senior, K.J. 

plans to attend an art institute after graduating from high school. Described as a “good-hearted, passionate person who enjoys helping 

others,” K.J. credits Clarence Degrate, a member of the MCH staff, for encouraging him to pursue his passion for art. 

To read more about K.J. and other youth at MCH, check out our weekly Q & A feature on our website: www.methodistchildrenshome.org.
