Heartland Children & Youth Homes seeks Christian, husband and wife couples as House Parents who are responsible for caring and raising children and youth through a loving, nurturing household in a full-time capacity. House Parents are expected to shepherd youth through the many complexities of childhood and adolescence from a biblical worldview.
House Parents’ responsibilities include, but are not limited to, demonstrating a godly lifestyle, leading the household as unto the Lord, assisting the youth in academic development, and educating and equipping youth with foundational life skills. House Parents must possess a heart to serve and help children.
Many of these children come from broken families and various situations that necessitate House Parents to possess patience, self-control, and conflict de-escalation skills. This position is essential to the primary vision of CNS International Ministries to help hurting children.
