Your Mission Field Awaits at Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina

If God has called you to serve, to nurture, and to be the steady presence a child desperately needs, then Cottage Parenting may be the ministry He’s preparing you for. At Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina, Cottage Parents are more than caregivers—they are missionaries stepping into a sacred mission field where hope is planted, trust is rebuilt, and young lives begin to heal.

As a Christian, married couple living in our homes, you become the heartbeat of a cottage family: offering love, structure, discipleship, and encouragement to children who need a safe and Christ-centered home. Your everyday moments—sharing meals, leading devotionals, praying together, guiding routines, celebrating growth—become powerful expressions of the Gospel in action.

1885 — Today

This is a calling that changes lives, including your own. You’ll join a ministry that has served North Carolina since 1885, carrying forward a legacy of compassion and excellence.
Surrounded by a supportive team and fueled by faith, you’ll help create a place where children discover their worth and their God-given potential.

If you feel God nudging your heart toward mission work that happens not overseas, but right here at home—within the walls of a cottage and in the lives of the children who live there—we invite you to answer that call.

Step into the mission.
