Who We Are

Smoky Mountain Children's Home is a private, faith-based, not-for-profit, multi-service agency that provides professional care and treatment for boys and girls referred for our services due to emotional, behavioral, and life situations. A continuum of quality programs is offered to meet the unique needs of children of different ages, capacities, races and creeds and their families. We are dedicated to achieving excellence, and will use our knowledge and resources to advocate, enrich, and empower the lives of children and families living out our call to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our vision is to become a complete children and family ministry providing an array of programs that are family-focused and serve to strengthen, preserve, and reunify families. When reunification is not an option, our goal is to move the children to permanency.
