PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE
Measuring success at MCH
As president of Methodist Children’s Home, the most frequent question I am asked is, “What is
your success rate?” Since this question is unique to each child’s circumstances, it is difficult to
provide a simple answer. I experienced two events on campus in recent months that reminded me
that success can be measured in different ways.
This past Easter, we hosted the annual alumni Homecoming. Although there have typically been
more of the older alumni in attendance, I noticed an increase in the number of younger alumni
who returned to campus this year. Many alumni brought their families to see the campus and meet
their friends from the Home. Alumni expressed their appreciation for the Home and the education
and support they received while living here.

Q & A with Tim Brown
This issue of Sunshine
features the final interview
in a three-part Q & A series
with Tim Brown, president
of MCH. The Q & A begins on
page 2.
We graduated 44 high school seniors in June, and 113 graduating seniors and returning college
students were approved for scholarships for the fall semester. In addition to financial support
provided by the Home, we expect all of our students to contribute to their education by applying for
other scholarships and working while they attend school. Many of the students in our graduating
class would admit they out-performed their own expectations. In addition to their academic
success, they achieved significant personal growth. We have students who contributed countless
hours of voluntary community service, and most of our seniors worked off-campus jobs. Many of
these students have a true appreciation for the blessings they have received through the Home,
including safety, shelter, healthy meals, education, spiritual growth, recreation, counseling,
medical care, advocates and friendships that will last a lifetime.
For most of these youth, their appreciation for the Home did not exist when they arrived in our
care. Some were scared, angry or depressed by an overall sense of hopelessness. Many were
behind in school due to family circumstances, learning disabilities or poor choices and behavior.
When some of these children came to us, they were reeling from death of a family member,
trauma, sexual assault, family violence, bullying, homelessness, poverty or incarceration of a
parent. Others had to grow up too quickly as they were forced to care for younger siblings as their
single parent worked two jobs to support their family. Some of these youth were raised by their
grandparents, who were ill-equipped to care for young children.
When we consider that the average length of stay at the Home is less than two years, youth have
a short time to “be successful” as they work to overcome their personal challenges. In addition to
dealing with emotional or behavioral issues, they must quickly adjust to a new living environment,
get back on track academically, develop self-confidence and social skills, learn independent living
skills, and make plans for college, the workforce or military.
In spite of these challenges, our children are amazingly resilient, and they have an unquenchable
desire to be successful and to not repeat abusive patterns or past mistakes. If you knew the sagas
and stories of our children, you would not only be extremely proud of their accomplishments
and the courage they demonstrate daily, but you would be proud of the investment you continue
to make in their lives. Their success is made possible through the commitment and skills of an
amazing staff, terrific resources, and the prayers and financial support of friends like you.
MISSION STATEMENT
Methodist Children’s Home
offers hope to children, youth
and families through a
nurturing, Christian community.
This annual report issue of Sunshine provides an overview of many of the blessings God has
provided in the lives of our children, youth and staff during the past year. As you read this report,
please know that your support, prayers and belief in our mission and ministry are critical to the
success of the children, youth and families in our care. God bless you!

A DAY TO REMEMBER
Boys Ranch youth enjoyed a day of water activities in Fort Worth at a
special event hosted by In His Wakes Ministries in May. Called “A Day to
Remember,” the event gives youth an opportunity to enjoy a variety of
water sports and listen to Christian testimonies from staff members of

Q & A WITH TIM BROWN
Sharing the vision:
An interview with
MCH President Tim Brown
In this final interview of the three-part series, Tim Brown discusses his vision for Methodist Children’s Home, including the new
Strategic Plan and a partnership with Texas Christian University.

to children and families.

MCH provides a variety of
opportunities that enable
youth and staff to build
positive relationships.
Reasons to
choose MCH for
residential care
Residential
Services
Methodist Children’s Home is
a Christian organization with a
strong spiritual component.
MCH offers residential care on the Waco campus, Boys Ranch and Waxahachie campus.
Group care enables youth to build positive relationships with caring staff members who are
committed to their personal growth and success. Residents range in age from 12 to 18, however youth must be younger than 18 to be considered for admission. The average length of
stay in our residential programs is 16 months. Youth live in homes served by homeparents
and a unit manager or in homes supervised by a unit manager and a youth care staff that
rotates throughout the day.
Our strength-based philosophy of
care is innovative and proven to
be effective.
Services are diversified and we
offer an individualized plan of
development, including education, for all youth.
MCH exhibits longevity and
financial security.
Our program is affordable for
anyone because of our sliding
scale fee.
No youth is ever turned away
due to financial concerns.
WACO CAMPUS
BOYS RANCH
WAXAHACHIE CAMPUS
The Waco campus consists of
130 acres in the northwest part
of the city. The campus is the
original location of the Home.
MCH can serve up to 170 youth
in 16 homes on the Waco campus, which also includes administrative offices and a chapel,
charter school, gym and other
recreation facilities.
MCH serves up to 50 youth at
our 500-acre Boys Ranch, which
is located about 10 miles northeast of Waco. The Boys Ranch
includes six home units, administrative offices, a recreation
and activities center, a variety of livestock pens and barns,
horse arena and dining hall.
MCH serves up to 40 youth in
five homes on the campus of
Presbyterian Children’s Homes
and Services. MCH utilizes our
strength-based philosophy that
is consistent with the Waco
campus and Boys Ranch. Youth
and staff often come to Waco
to participate in activities with
other MCH residents.
• VIEW CAMPUS PHOTO GALLERY: http://www.methodistchildrenshome.org/page/photos.aspx
Basic care or structured care? The residential program offers basic
care and structured care. Youth in both programs can fully participate in
activities at MCH. Youth in basic care homes are served by homeparents,
who live in the home with their youth. Basic care youth have more independence than youth in structured care. Youth in structured care require
more intense supervision due to their behavior and needs. Structured homes
utilize a shift-work model, which consists of staff who rotate throughout
the day. Every home has a unit manager, a licensed social worker who works
with child care staff to meet the individual needs of youth.

Through recent collaboration

MCH offers another choice for
youth to be in closer proximity
to their families.
MCH’s residential services provides a continuum of care that
extends to a strong transition
services program for youth.
MCH offers one of the most successful residential service programs in the state. Thus, our
program should be strongly considered as a positive alternative
for youth who need out-of-home
care and as a family reunification approach to child care.
MCH is committed to using outcome data and evidence-based
approaches through our innovative strength-based and traumainformed care.

Bible studies are offered at
the Boys Ranch and in some
home units, in addition to
group devotionals.
LEADERSHIP: Youth take lead-
ership roles in worship. They
serve as Acolytes and ushers,
read scripture, lead prayers,
participate in the worship
band, present special music,
and assist with audio and
multimedia services.
SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES:
Youth enjoy opportunities to
serve others through mission
trips across Texas, and youth
always look forward to our
annual summer camp at Glen
Lake Camp.
MUSIC LESSONS: Our music
director gives or coordinates
music lessons in voice or on a
variety of instruments. Youth
take lessons in guitar, piano,
bass, drums, violin, trumpet

worship services and participate in youth group activities
at First United Methodist
Church. MCH youth attend
day trips, retreats and mission trips with FUMC youth.
The church’s youth minister
regularly visits our youth.
Identifying spiritual needs: Each new resident is led through a Spirituality Assessment to help our staff
determine the specific spiritual needs of our youth. In addition to teaching opportunities and group discussions about the Christian faith and spiritual development, our staff often provides one-time or short-term
counseling on religious matters. The R.E. staff also lead short-term studies in preparation for baptism, write
and distribute weekly devotional booklets, and teach a sex education program from a biblical perspective.

Educational Services
Education is an important
component of our program
of care. Child care staff work
closely with school administrators and teachers to ensure
the individual educational
needs of youth are met.
Many of our youth have
experienced academic problems due to a lack of educational support at home or
other family issues, behavior
issues or other challenges.
MCH SCHOOL: Located on
the Waco campus, the MCH
School is operated in partnership with the University
of Texas – University
Charter School. About 160
students from the Waco
campus and Boys Ranch
attend the school.
The school is accredited by
the Texas Education Agency
(TEA), and all teachers are
highly-qualified and state certified. The school has been rated “Academically Acceptable”
by state standards for the past
six years under the alternative
reporting standard. The school
serves students in grades 7-12
and offers the state recommended high school graduation requirements.
When the Boys Ranch
students moved to the charter school in 2009-2010, the
school created an Agriculture
Department that previously was part of the Boys Ranch
curriculum. This program provides an opportunity for Waco
campus students to participate
in FFA and show animals and
enter shop projects in area
competition.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS: Child care
staff and the school coordinator designate the assigned
school (public or MCH) for
each student based on school
records, behavior history and
academic interests. Thirty
students attended seven
public schools in the Waco
Independent School District
in 2010-2011.
WAXAHACHIE: Youth in our
program at Waxahachie are
enrolled in local schools. Our
child care staff work closely
with school staff to develop appropriate educational
plans for our youth.
Extracurricular Activities: Our students are active leaders on their school campuses. Charter school students participate in UIL choir and academic contests, Student Council and the Principal’s Cabinet. Public school
students are involved in Student Council, National Honor Society, debate, band, orchestra, athletics and drill
team, among others.

MCH supports children
and families across
Texas and New Mexico
through foster care or
prevention services.
Community
Services
Reasons to
choose MCH for
foster care
Staff members in Community Services help families during crisis situations by offering assistance that strengthens the family and supports each child’s healthy development. Services are
offered through outreach offices in Abilene, Bedford, Corpus Christi, Crockett, Dallas, El Paso,
Houston, Lubbock, San Antonio, Tyler, Waco, and Albuquerque, NM. Each outreach office
provides support to families through Partnership in Parenting. Should families need foster
care, each outreach office in Texas has case management staff to provide foster care services
and help in the efforts toward family stability and reunification.
We carefully screen, train and
support foster families who will
care for the children.
We are faith-based.
Families have a voice in the care
of their children and are included in the decisions that affect
their children while they are in
foster care.
We genuinely care about families, children and family reunification.
Families are treated with dignity
and respect.
PARTNERSHIP IN
PARENTING
The Partnership in Parenting
(PIP) program offers services to
families in their homes and communities to support a strong and
resilient family structure. The
multi-faceted program offers
individualized assessment, case
management, parenting support and prevention services to
meet basic needs and promote
child safety and family stability. Our staff members partner
with families to help them overcome their individual challenges
through a service plan, face-toface contact with a caring pro-

fessional, skill-building opportunities, encouragement and
support. PIP helps families develop a network of support in their
community.
FOSTER CARE
MCH is licensed by the Texas
Department of Family and
Protective Services to provide
foster care in Texas. The program
is accredited by the Council on
Accreditation (COA). Foster care
provides a safe and nurturing
home to support families while
they work toward reunification. If
reunification is not possible, outreach offices help children find a

safe, stable and nurturing permanent home.
The foster care program
can place children, ages 0-17,
with licensed foster families in
or close to their home community. Foster care services are
meant to be short-term, ranging
from 6-18 months, until parents
can stabilize their circumstances and resume parenting. MCH
accepts voluntary placements,
in addition to placements
through the Texas Department
of Family and Protective
Services for children removed
from their homes due to allegations of abuse or neglect.

The number of counties in
Texas where MCH provided foster
care services to more than
200 children last year.
Families are provided with ongoing updates and communication through letters from our
foster parents, weekly communication with a caseworker, and
pictures and regular visitation
with their child in a comfortable
and kid-friendly place.
Foster care staff responds quickly and professionally to all correspondence from foster and
biological families.
Foster parents and staff understand and value the importance
of the family connections and
how a child’s identity builds
from their relationships with
parents and other caregivers.
WORDS OF HOPE
“Having the support
of my foster parents
has been amazing.
The only reason
I am looking
toward college is
because of MCH.”
Monica

Reasons foster
parents choose
our ministry
Foster Care
Foster families understand the
difficult transition children
face when they come into their
homes, so they make every
effort to help children become
comfortable with their family.
Foster families meet the needs
of children in many ways, such
as providing for their daily
care, attending school events
and parent meetings, celebrating birthdays and holidays, and
transporting them to family
visits and other appointments.
Foster parents report being
attracted to MCH because we
are faith-based.
Foster parents choose MCH
because they were referred by
a friend.
Foster parents report being
attracted to MCH because they
see that the agency is committed to meeting the needs of
children that are being served.
MCH has an excellent reputation and is financially stable.
ACTIVITIES: Foster children
Reasons foster parents
remain with MCH:
get swept into an active family lifestyle with their foster
family. Children participate
in church activities, Scouts,
band, sports, running clubs,
karate, choir and swimming.
Some of our children live with
families out in the country,
so they have opportunities
to learn about farm animals.
They also participate in community reading programs and
Vacation Bible School.
Foster parents express that
they stay with MCH because
they are supported by case
managers who care about them
and work with them to meet
the needs of children that are
placed in our care.
Our staff takes extra steps to
match children to homes based
on information shared about
the child and the knowledge of
each foster family’s strengths.
Foster care staff provides personal service, providing a network of support for the foster
family.
FAMILY VISITS: Children visit
with their biological families in
ways that are appropriate for
their situation. The visits are

determined by whether children are voluntary placements
or CPS placements. For voluntary placements, visits may be
unsupervised and children are
often able to visit with their
family in their home. If children are placed by CPS, visits may have to be supervised
and can be more restrictive.
Children may also be able
to visit by telephone with family members. When appropriate, foster parents visit with
the biological family about
the child’s progress, medical
issues or other topics relevant
to the child’s care.
FAMILY REUNIFICATION:
Foster parents, biological
parents and caseworkers talk
with the children throughout
placement about their plan
for reunification with their
family or an alternate plan
when reunification is not possible. When it is time for a
child to return home, MCH
offers aftercare services to
families who wish to participate. Staff members follow up
with families after release and
continue to offer case management services, including
our Partnership-in-Parenting
program.
“One of the best things for children is to
know and be loved by their parent. Our foster
parents understand the built-in need for
a connection to a child’s biological parent.”
Foster parents are valued and
esteemed for the care they
provide children.

Ways we’re serving
children, families
Staff members in our 12 outreach
offices serve children and families in a variety of ways. Here are
a few recent examples:
Abilene: We partnered with
local agencies to lead
a community workshop on bullying.
Albuquerque: Our
staff hold workshops for
family preservation clients.
We provide prizes that reflect
the theme of the workshop,
such as picnic items for a
workshop about spending time
together as a family.
Bedford: Our office has helped
families gain employment and
health insurance, enabling them
to become stabilized.
Corpus Christi: We partnered
with Healthy Marriage Coalition
to offer parenting classes.
Crockett: We help our foster
parents find fun family events
that are free or affordable.
Dallas: We take foster children
to visit their parents who are
incarcerated in prison or jail.
El Paso: Our staff spoke at a
Career Day at a local middle
school. This gave us an opportunity to educate school staff
about our services.
Houston: During our monthly
visits in foster homes, we give
the children cards or small gifts
to recognize their success.
Lubbock: We provide older children
in our grandparents’ program the
opportunity to attend
church camp.
San Antonio: Our staff makes a
collage of pictures of our foster
children at different developmental milestones to give to
their biological parents.
Tyler: Our staff helped plan
kid-friendly events throughout
East Texas that drew attention
to Child Abuse Prevention and
Awareness Month. We worked
with Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and
other resources to make these
events fun and successful.
Waco: Our staff visits a local
foster home regularly to provide tutoring to one of our
foster children.

A PASSION FOR ART
Kemzuel (K.J.) is developing his artistic talent through the summer enrichment program at Methodist Children’s Home. A senior, K.J.

others,” K.J. credits Clarence Degrate, a member of the MCH staff, for encouraging him to pursue his passion for art.
