Providing Christ-Centered Homes of Hope and Healing

Since 1970, Oblong Children’s Christian Home (OCCH) has provided family-style, Christ-centered care for children and teens in need of stability, guidance, and love. We exist to glorify God by giving youth a safe, nurturing home where faith is lived out daily and futures are rebuilt on a foundation of hope.

​

At OCCH, each child becomes part of a family. In our boys’ and girls’ homes, caring houseparent's create a structured, loving environment where God’s Word is taught and lived. Through daily routines, shared meals, prayer, and mentorship, children experience what it means to belong and to be loved unconditionally.

​

Education, mentorship, and discipleship are woven into every aspect of life here. Our goal is to help each child grow spiritually, emotionally, and academically while preparing for a healthy, independent future. We work closely with families, churches, and agencies to restore relationships and guide children toward lifelong success in Christ.

​

For more than five decades, OCCH has served the region with faith, integrity, and compassion — offering not just a place to live, but a place to truly call home.
