Churches

"My understanding of why a child needing a safe place was dramatically changed when someone from Mount Dora Children’s Home spoke at our church. I’m more excited than ever that we help them help children,” comments Bobby Groves, North Tampa elder after a recent church presentation.

Open Hands. Open Hearts.

Churches give to help our children in a variety of ways. They provide prayers, Change for Children, financial support, food, birthday gifts, holiday gifts, clothing and soup labels as some of the opportunities to help each child enjoy a normal life. Every day a life is changed because a church is personally and practically fulfilling James’ description in James 1:27 of “pure and faultless religion.”

Churches also help by inviting our children to join them for worship services, encouraging various groups to visit the campus and undertake special projects. Since 1945, Churches of Christ believe that caring for the defenseless is important and offering hope is vital in saving a young life from the abuse, abandonment and neglect far too many suffer.

Churches help in another critical way by scheduling one of our staff to speak about the work at Mount Dora Children’s Home. Whether it’s an update on current activities, introducing our work to your congregation for the first time or expressing our thanks for your involvement, we have several men capable and willing to present a program and/or lead your regular worship service.
