HistoryChrist’s Home is a charitable 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1903 by Dr. Albert Oetinger and Katharine Krausslach. It was founded as a Christian based non-denominational organization caring for children in Philadelphia. Just four years later, in 1907, Christ’s Home moved to Warminster, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In 1936, a branch of Christ’s Home for Children opened in Paradise, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Today, Christ’s Home offers a Primary Placement Program (group homes for children), a Pregnant and Parenting Teens program, and a Transitional Living Program for teen boys and girls.

Some are ultimately adopted by their foster parents or others. For teenagers who live with us up to 18, their next step may be college, enlistment in the armed services or vocational training.
