who we are

Free Will baptist family ministries' heritage began in 1939

It was first established as Free Will Baptist Home for Children, an orphanage opened with Mr. and Mrs. I.L. Stanley as Superintendents. It was an humble beginning, but the care for orphans and other hurting children soon became a permanent facet of FWB Family Ministries. Today, our programs have expanded to meet the needs of the entire family. Over the last decade, we have witnessed many young people each year give their hearts and lives to the Lord. God is truly working at Family Ministries!

Our Mission

Our mission is to share Christ in order to unify and preserve families and provide a loving, caring and secure environment in which to live, work and grow in the Lord.

Our goal is to provide a strong support system which will enable children, adolescents, adults and senior citizens we serve to become productive and healthy members of the community.

Our vision is to be nationally recognized as a model of excellence in faith-based family, adult, adolescent, senior and child care services which strengthen and preserve the family and provide dignity to those we serve.

TESTIMONIALS

"From the time I was 7, camp at The Oaks was always the highlight of my year and helped me grow spiritually."

"We are very thankful to God for the ministry of FWB Family Ministries. Ruth and I met while living at the Children's Home in the 70's. We were engaged there and later married at Harris Memorial FWB Church near the campus. Our wedding was performed by Rev. James Earl Raper, the Superintendent at the time we lived there. We just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary on August 6, 2012. God is so good. We became Christians there and began our life as a couple there, Thank you FWBFM."

"I arrived at the Home in 1977. I never knew the love of a family or Christ before then. From the education, discipline, faith, and morals that the House Parents, other kids, Mr. Raper, and the Church taught me will forever guide me. My successes in life are all because of the Home and Christ. A truly remarkable place in my heart."
