Celebrating 130 Years
ABCFM MONTICELLO EST. 1894

“‘How can we (ABCFM) help you (churches)?’ This is what we have now! We have felt so powerless in our community and for the first time, we have a way to help vulnerable families because of this change on your campus. We now have a ministry in town helping us as churches serve Monticello.”
In addition to the 4 sibling foster homes that we currently provide, we will now offer each of our divisions of services on our Monticello campus. This allows us to greater utilize campus resources to better serve Southeast Arkansas!

What began in 1894 as a home for children in need of family right here in Monticello, Arkansas, has grown to 6 Christ-centered divisions reaching every corner of our state to build, strengthen, and restore Arkansas families for God’s glory. Now, each of those divisions will be offered right here where it all began.
