Ministry Philosophy
As a ministry to children
and families, the Texas Baptist Home for Children
expresses its philosophy by firmly holding to the
following values:
-
Service:
We believe that each worker must have a sense
of God’s calling in their life in order to
commit themselves to the mission entrusted to us
and to create a fertile climate for spiritual
service to those in need so they may experience
Christ’s healing in their lives.
-
Christian:
We recognize the Bible as the
ultimate standard by which we must judge all
decisions and actions, and we believe that the
truth of the gospel is best shared in a loving
and supportive relationship where our witness is
reflected in both words and deeds.
-
Integrity:
We hold to the highest standards of
accountability to God, to those we serve, and to
those who make this ministry possible; and we
practice faithful stewardship for all resources
entrusted to us.
-
Professionalism:
We strive to provide
the highest quality and most competent program
of care to meet the needs of troubled children
and families in the context of Christian care,
and we endeavor to stay knowledgeable of current
development, techniques, and innovations in
child and family services to enhance our skills
and enable us to better meet the needs of those
we serve.
-
Churches:
We hold as valuable that this ministry is an
extension of the ministries of the local
churches, and we will conduct our activities in
a way that will support and complement the local
church and will avoid any affiliation that
compromises or weakens our relationship with the
churches of the BMA of Texas.
-
Community:
God placed us in the Waxahachie community for
a special purpose, thus, we will maintain a
close and effective relationship with those in
the community who share our same convictions and
commitment to helping children and families.
-
Staff:
We respect those serving in this ministry and
we place a high value on the uniqueness and
special God-given gifts of each staff member.
We are a “family” who cares for one another and
who considers ourselves to be “co-laborers”
together in a ministry built on prayer, love,
faith, and hope in God.
