Children’s Home responds to COVID-19

March 18, 2020

By Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home communications

MONROE, La. (LBCH) – Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home and Family Ministries is joining efforts to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

All administrative and support service offices on the Monroe campus will be closed from Saturday March 21st through Sunday April 5th, LBCH President and CEO Perry Hancock said. Administrative staff will continue their work through remote access portals. Granberry Counseling Centers will serve clients through a secured teleconferencing network.

The Children’s Home will continue services for all children, young adults, and families in residence. The campus will be closed to visitors. Campus tours and church group activities will be rescheduled.

These measures and others will reduce the exposure that our residents and staff have to the virus, Hancock said.

“Ultimately, we trust God to accomplish His will and purpose through this crisis,” Hancock said. “Know that our LBCHFM family is praying for you as you pray for us. Remember Philippians 4:6, 7 – ‘Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.’ God bless you all.”
