ABOUT US

Tax ID# 41-2677847
 





Since opening our doors in 2020 we have served over 500 children. This ministry has allowed us the opportunity to show the LOVE of JESUS to every child that comes to Immanuel House in a tangible way. Providing a bed to rest and sleep, a shower to get clean, a meal to fill their tummy and kind volunteers is exactly what Jesus has called us to do. Not only do we have the opportunity to minister to the needs of the children, but also to the DCS workers that sacrifice so much of their time for God's children. We shower the DCS workers with prayer and appreciation for all that they do.

In December 2025 we became our own 501c3. As we continue to grow we are now looking to expand to a farm so that we can offer more space for children in need and to offer additional services for children aging out of foster care. As a Transitional Safe House DCS is on site at all times when children are present in their care. We simply offer them a safe, calming space as they await transition to foster placement.
