			Family changes everything
			We believe every child deserves to be loved, connected, and empowered through family. Bethany is a global nonprofit that supports children and families with world-class social services, all designed to help families thrive.
			The challenges people face today call us to go further than ever. Our mission is to stand up for vulnerable children, refugees, and families around the world, because family holds an incredible power to connect us, lift us up, and transform lives.

			- Chris Palusky, President
			Bethany's impact
			Over 75 years ago, we began our work by serving a single child. Today, we work in more than 30 states and more than a dozen countries worldwide, serving more than 50,000 people every year.


			Our mission
			Bethany demonstrates the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by protecting children, empowering youth, and strengthening families through quality social services.

			The people we support
			Vulnerable kids in the U.S.
			When children are in need of a family, we respond. In the U.S., we protect vulnerable children through essential services, including pregnancy counseling, foster care, emergency care, and adoption. We believe family is the essential human care structure, and we work to provide every child the support, safety, and connection they deserve.

			Refugees & immigrants
			For refugees fleeing danger, the search for safety can be extremely challenging. And too often, people become numbers in a system that can feel impossible to navigate. That’s why we guide, protect, advocate for, and support refugees. In the U.S., we offer resettlement and continued support services in strategic locations.

			Global families
			We believe children thrive when they belong to a loving family. Rather than placing vulnerable children in orphanages, we find a family for them in their own country. We also support families struggling to stay together by providing the resources and training they need to lead their family to self-sufficiency.

			We are a fully accredited organization
			Bethany is reviewed by the Council of Accreditation on a regular basis to receive its reaccreditation. The accreditation process is designed to identify providers that have set high performance standards for themselves and have made a commitment to their constituents to deliver the highest quality services. COA continually recognizes Bethany Christian Services as one of these outstanding providers.

			The Council on Accreditation partners with human service organizations worldwide to improve service delivery outcomes by developing, applying, and promoting accreditation standards.


			I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.

			- Matthew 25:40, MSG
			Our actions are inspired by faith
			For more than 75 years, our faith has inspired us to serve children close to home and around the world.

			Why do we do this work?

			Because there's a sobering gap between the way God sees people and the way the world sees people. Until everyone sees people the same way God does, until every person is loved, connected, and empowered, people need to stand up, speak out, and advocate, loudly and courageously.

			So that’s what we do. Our core beliefs are simple: We love God and we love people.

			Financial accountability
			We value every partnership and are committed to financial transparency. Our form 990's can be found here and here.


			Meet our leaders
			Meet the leaders and board driving Bethany's vision.


			Our origin story
			Read the story of how our movement started with a single child.


			140 million reasons to help.
			Today, 140 million kids don't have a permanent home. To us, that's unacceptable.

			Together, we can change the world through family.

	*''Domestic Foster Care:''  There is a growing need for families willing to open their hearts and homes to children and teenagers who have been removed from their families because of neglect or abuse. The highest-priority need is for foster homes for sibling groups and children from minority groups.

	*''Infant Adoption:''  Our goal is to help expectant parents, and the adoptive families they choose, to make the adoption plan that works best for them and the child they both love.
	*''International Adoption:'' &nbspMany children around the world are waiting for a forever family. Can you open your heart and home to one of these children?
	*''Pregnancy Support:''  We are here for you. The choices that you make will be life-changing and we are here to help support you.
	*''Refugee and Immigrant Resettlement:''  Connects refugee and immigrant families with churches and community resources to help them adjust to their new life in the U.S.
