About Us

Our mission is to provide
Christ-centered services to children in need and their families.

Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services (PCHAS) got its start in 1903, when a mother dying from tuberculosis asked her minister to help her find someone to care for her four young children.

Over the past century, this ministry has expanded to meet the needs of today’s families. We serve children age birth to 17 who have suffered from neglect, abuse and abandonment, or children whose families are experiencing some type of crisis, such as the death of a parent, divorce, illness, violence, homelessness, parental drug/alcohol abuse and other issues that threaten family stability.

Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services has five main programs: Group Homes, Foster Care, Adoption Services , Child and Family outreach, Single Parent Family support and Education programs.

PCHAS is a 501(c)3 charitable organization committed to fulfilling our mission of providing Christ-centered care and family support regardless of race, gender, religion, national origin, or financial resources. PCHAS is a ministry of Presbyterian Church (USA) and licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. This agency is a sponsor agency of the Teaching-Family Association and a member of the national association of Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Related Ministries.
