MISSION

Founded in 1863, Bethany Children's Home provides residential services for a school-age, co-ed population who are unable to live with their own or a substitute family. Typically, these young people require more structure, more elaborate programming, and more highly-trained staff than is possible in a smaller group setting. Founded in 1863 and related to the United Church of Christ, Bethany serves more than 300 youth each year on its Womelsdorf, PA, campus. Additionally, through its Counseling Ministry, Bethany annually provides counseling services to over 600 families throughout the region.
