Celebrating 125 Years of Ministry

Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina proudly celebrates 125 years of ministry in 2010. On November 11, 1885, nine-year-old Mary Presson walked through the door of the Baptist Orphanage in Thomasville becoming the first child ever admitted into care. Today, Baptist Children's Homes' Christ-centered ministry offers hope and healing to children and families through service locations in 18 statewide communities. The prayers and generous support of Baptists have bolstered the mission of helping hurting children…healing broken families for well more than a century.

Help honor BCH's 125th anniversary, or “Quasquicentennial” by participating in the following commemorative projects…
