PROVIDING HOMES, HEALING AND HOPE

“We are proud to be rooted and grounded in our Methodist foundation and will continue that tradition of sharing Jesus Christ with those most vulnerable among us…”

Embrace Alabama Kids, a ministry of United Methodist Children’s Home, is a non-profit, faith-based organization dedicated to serving vulnerable children and families in crisis across the state of Alabama.
Since 1890, we’ve stood in the gap for the most vulnerable of children. More than 130 years later, our commitment has only strengthened. We provide homes, healing and hope to children coming from families in crisis, no longer able to live with families due to possible neglect, abuse or abandonment.
While children are our first priority, we also work with families to address harmful behavior, giving them a second chance at restoration and a glimpse of God’s unconditional love. As a result, we’re often able to help both children and families thrive despite the arduous challenges they face.

*Over the past two years, UMCH changed the name of its Alabama and Florida ministries to Embrace Alabama Kids and Embrace Florida Kids to better reflect who we are and what we do. While our name has changed, our mission and focus on ministry remains the same – “In Response to God’s Word, we embrace and nurture vulnerable children and families by providing homes, healing, and hope.”
