Epworth Children's Home

The mission of Epworth is to serve children, youth and families through caring, safe, Christian communities, where hurts are healed; hope is nurtured; and faith in God, self and others is developed.

At Epworth , we serve children and families across South Carolina through many lifechanging and innovative programs.

Residential Services: Our oldest program cares for SC children ages 12-18 who have experienced trauma from loss, neglect and/or abuse. Our Foster Care program recruits and supports loving foster parents for children needing temporary support and nurturing. Our Independent Living Center supports young adults between the ages of 18 to 23 who have aged out of the foster care system or other difficult situations. Our Family Care Center supports single moms healing from addiction.

Community-Based Services: Our HOMEBUILDERS & Family Resource Connection and Preservation programs help families who are at risk of a child being placed in care. The programs strengthen family stability through parenting education, case management, and problem-solving skill building. Our public Centers for Counseling serve individuals, couples and families. Our Kinship Care program serves grandparents and others who are raising another person's child. Our Early Intervention Center serves preschoolers with developmental delays and disabilities.
