Our ministries
Through our two campuses, STCH Ministries provides safe, comfortable homes for children and families during times of crisis.
Our Family Counseling ministry provides hope and direction for individuals, couples and children when they need help sorting through the challenges of life.
STCH Ministries International takes our mission overseas by partnering with established local churches and organizations that serve children and families.
Through our training programs, Faith & Work and Faith & Finances, we guide people in critical life-management applications. This includes discovering purpose in life and how to apply that at work as well as Biblical principals about managing money in order to break patterns of a financial crisis.
We care for our communities by offering Pastor Care and support for our local church shepherds, Family Support for families needing a connection to local resources; and Ministry Consulting to offer our expertise to organizations that share our goal of being Christ’s hands and feet.
In a distracted world, it’s sometimes hard to see and participate in what God is doing.
“I WANT TO BURN OUT, NOT RUST OUT!” my missionary father often said. Tongue-in-cheek, he added, “Retirement means re-tire—get a new set of tires for the journey.” He may have been inspired by David’s perspective in Psalm 71, “Now that I am old and gray, let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.” David affirmed again in Psalm 92, “Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.” (NLT)
STCH Ministries (originally South Texas Children’s Home) is a faith-based, nonprofit organization that has been caring for children and families since 1952. Today we provide residential care, counseling, life-skills training and international mission opportunities. We endeavor to show the love of Christ to each and every child and family that God sends our way.
