Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children

What Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children does

Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children (OBHC) is a private, faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1903 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, operating as an affiliate of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma (BGCO), which comprises approximately 1,700 Southern Baptist churches. It is the largest provider of private, non-profit residential child care in Oklahoma, delivering services entirely free of charge to families and explicitly refusing government funding in order to preserve a Christ-centered programmatic approach. OBHC's service portfolio spans Child-Focused Care (residential homes at Boys Ranch Town in Edmond, Baptist Home for Girls in Madill, Baptist Children's Home in Owasso, and The Vine in Oklahoma City, the last of which transitioned to family-focused work in 2018), Family-Focused Care supporting single mothers and their children, Hope Pregnancy Center (eight locations plus a mobile unit delivering ultrasounds, pregnancy testing, counseling, and parenting education), and a Foster Care Support Ministry built around the C.A.R.E.S. framework to equip churches and reduce the 50%+ resource parent dropout rate.

In FY2025 OBHC reported total revenue of $17,188,175 against operating expenses of $17,509,726, producing a $321,551 operating deficit. Revenue is diversified across individual and corporate donations ($8.83M), endowment distributions ($4.06M), contributed services and gifts in kind ($964K), capital contributions ($756K), investment income ($675K), the BGCO Cooperative Program ($661K), proceeds from asset sales ($645K), wills and trusts ($339K), and miscellaneous income. Roughly 95% of the budget comes from private donors (individuals, businesses, churches, foundations) and 5% from the Cooperative Program; OBHC is ECFA accredited, holds the Candid Platinum Transparency Seal, is a member of the Christian Alliance for Orphans, and maintains a workforce of 101-250 employees across Oklahoma.

Operationally OBHC does not deploy proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, or digital platforms beyond a standard website, email newsletter, and online giving infrastructure. GTM motion is hybrid: community-led through BGCO church partnerships and the C.A.R.E.S. ministry, event-driven via annual fundraisers such as Boys Ranch Town Rodeo and Women of Compassion Cups of Kindness, and direct-to-consumer through the Get Help intake flow on obhc.org. FY2025 programmatic impact included 98 children served in Child-Focused Care, 89 mothers and children served in Family-Focused Care, 2,883 individuals served and 843 ultrasounds performed at Hope Pregnancy Centers (with 81% of ultrasound clients choosing life), 21 salvations recorded in Child-Focused Care, and 16 church plus 25 community partnerships formed through Foster Care Ministries.
