Christian Homes Of Abilene

For decades Christian Homes & Family Services has been known as two agencies: Christian Homes of Abilene, a ministry originally conceived by the Highland Church of Christ in 1962 to supply foster care for young needy kids; and Christian Services of East Texas, a ministry given life in 1975 by the Glenwood Church of Christ in Tyler to supply foster care for kids rescued from neglect and abuse. In 1999, the two independent agencies, both recognized as 501 3 organizations by the Internal Revenue Service, merged and in 2006, the agency started operating under the same assumed name.
