The UMCH ministry began in 1913 in Creal Springs and has been located in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, since 1921.  What began as an orphanage has developed into a multifaceted social service agency providing an array of services to individuals, families, and our communities.

Honoring God, we envision communities where people are physically, emotionally and spiritually healthy.

United Methodist Children’s Home offers hope, help, and healing by providing Christ-centered human services to meet the ever-changing needs of individuals, families, and communities.
