Houseparenting…
The Practice of Pure Religion from James 1:27
Children’s Homes Inc.’s (CHI’s) family-style Experiential Learning Academy (ELA) has an immediate opening for a Christian husband and wife team to serve as HOUSEPARENTS.
Married couples committed to ministry who are graduates of Bible institutes, preacher schools, Christian colleges and universities often become preachers, youth and family ministers, missionaries etc. There is another option that also includes a paid ministry position for not just the Christian man, but also the Christian woman…Houseparenting!
Congregations of the churches of Christ across the United States support various children’s homes. Most are funded by a combination of funds from the government, churches and individuals. Government funding often interferes with the spiritual mission of Christian children’s homes…but not at Children’s Homes, Inc.
CHI is a family-style children’s home with an academy fully-funded by Christians and churches of Christ, not the government. CHI started as a ministry of the 7th and Mueller Church of Christ in 1955. Today, the shepherds of this church still make up the governing board of the ministry and continue to provide oversite. CHI continues as a ministry of the church of Christ with spiritual and financial support from roughly 400 congregations, 17,000 individual donors and a small endowment.
CHI’s ELA is located in Paragould, Ark., on a combined 380 picturesque acres on beautiful Crowley’s Ridge in Northeast Arkansas. CHI is twenty minutes from Jonesboro Ark., two hours from Little Rock Ark,. an hour and a half from Memphis Tenn., and four hours from Saint Louis, Mo.
MISSION and ENVIRONMENT
CHI is a ministry that:
• Practices the principles of James 1:27 by lifting the burdens of orphans missing one or both parents;
• Apprentices youth to become resilient followers of Jesus Christ;
• Teaches youth how to live with and trust a traditional family environment;
• Allows natural and simulated experiences to teach youth how to function at a higher level and accept discomfort
as a normal occurrence of real life;
• Trains youth how to hold themselves accountable when only God is watching;
• Shows youth by example and instruction how to self-regulate; and
• Decreases the negative impact past trauma has on their present day lives.
Students live in one of eight single Family Homes (FHs) lead by a husband and wife team. Each houseparent couple serves up to six youth of the same gender grades six through eleven (ages eleven through seventeen). Each family home has separate 900 to 1,200 sq. ft. private living quarters for houseparent families. The family homes are 3,500 to 3,700 sq. ft. of total living space.
SALARY, BENEFITS AND SAVINGS
Houseparent couples earn a base gross salary of $60,000 annually. Gross salary increases are possible based on prior houseparenting experience. Houseparent couples receive 12 weeks off annually. The husband serves in the family home, as well as away from it in another role at CHI from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. M-F. Lunch is up to an hour a day. The total gross cash salary, benefit package, plus savings totals $119,232.84 annually. A breakdown of the latter is sent upon request.

Juneau Church of Christ
Juneau is located at the northern end of the famous “Inside Passage” in Southeast Alaska. While it is uniquely on the mainland, it feels more like an island because you can’t drive there without putting your car on a ferry. It is served by Alaska Airlines (and sometimes Delta). Juneau is Alaska’s capital city with a population of approximately 32,000. However, this population is spread out, with roughly half of the population in the downtown and Douglas Island areas to the south and the other half in the Mendenhall Valley and Auke Bay areas to the north, with smaller neighborhoods spread throughout. The Juneau Church of Christ meets in the Mendenhall Valley
but consists of members from all areas of town.

Brief History of the Juneau Congregation
The origin of the Juneau Church of Christ goes back to a missional effort of churches in Southern California back in the 1940s and has been in continuous existence ever since. The present church building was completed in the early 1970s. A parsonage followed a few years later and an additional building was added to the campus in 1991.

Size of the Congregation
The size of the congregation has fluctuated over the years, with Sunday morning attendance as high as 160 in the 1990’s to approximately 80 today. By its unique geography and climate, the community of Juneau experiences a high rate of turnover.  Over the years, this congregation has influenced many other congregations “Down South” due to the  number of people who have grown in faith here and who, for any number of reasons, subsequently moved to serve the Lord elsewhere. The fluctuating job markets in government, tourism, mining, and the U.S. Coast Guard factor into this higher rate of movement.

A Unique and Diverse Congregation
The Juneau Church of Christ is culturally and theologically diverse for several reasons. Our congregation shares the same cultural diversity as our city. In addition to people of European origin, Juneau has a large population of Tlingit & Haida Indigenous peoples, a large Filipino community, and many who have roots in Samoa and Tonga.
This congregation is also unique in the fact that there has always been only one congregation associated with the Churches of Christ. Over the years we have been successful at avoiding the tendency for multiple flavors of the Churches of Christ to spring up in a community, due to brothers and sisters separating over one issue or another. We recognize God’s grace in this area. So, it does mean that we have a congregation of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, traditions, influences, and theological and cultural perspectives. We continue to challenge ourselves to love and serve each other in unity with these differences. While on the surface the Juneau Church of Christ is largely similar to other mainline Churches of Christ, there is an active understanding that our mission to love each other and serving the Lord in this community is a higher mission than insisting on uniformity of thought on all issues. Anyone coming to serve with this congregation will need to have a heart for loving and serving each other and to keep the main thing the main thing.

Our Mission
The desired mission of the Juneau Church of Christ is to love and serve God, to proclaim the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and equipped by the power of the Holy Spirit, to live these truths out loud by loving and serving others in His name.

What We are Looking for in a Minister
We are looking for a man who loves the Lord, loves people, and has a passion to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ideally, this would be a man with a wife who is a life partner with the the same love for God and people. While the primary duties of the minister would be to preach and teach the ways of God as taught in the Scriptures, we desire the man, his wife, and his family, to be fully participating members of the congregation, equal in the community of believers, ready and willing to join in the building up of our small part of the body of Christ.
