About Arkansas Baptist Children & Family Ministries:
Our mission is to build, strengthen, and restore Arkansas families for the glory of God. We are compelled by the Gospel to pursue justice for the children and families of Arkansas. Family is the foundation of healthy childhoods, healthy churches and healthy communities. Families are in a battle for health, hope and wholeness. They cannot face the battle alone.
