Houseparent or Relief Houseparent Couples

Mission

Sunshine Acres Children's Home exists to provide a loving, wholesome, Christian home for children who are separated from their parents, helping them establish long-term relationships with stable parental figures and preparing them for success in adult life.

Our Most Important Qualification

At Sunshine Acres, our ministry is rooted in a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ. While education, experience, and leadership skills are essential, the most important qualification for this role is a genuine, growing faith in Christ.

We're looking for someone who is living out a daily, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ, demonstrates Christian character in both their personal and professional life, and desires to lead others with humility, wisdom, grace, and truth. We value leaders who seek God's direction daily, model biblical principles, and are passionate about serving children and families as an expression of their faith.

Because this is a ministry leadership position, we are seeking someone whose relationship with Christ is evident through a consistent walk with Him, active involvement in a Bible-believing church, and a wholehearted commitment to the mission and Christian values of Sunshine Acres Children's Home.
