Is ministry a desire of your heart? Do you feel called to make an eternal impact in the lives of children and families who are in the midst of their most painful and confusing times? If so, we have an amazing opportunity for you to make a difference! Connie Maxwell Children's Ministries is seeking Christ-centered individuals or married couples to serve as Houseparents. In this role, you will work a flexible schedule of 5 days on and 2 days off, residing in the cottage full-time while on shift.

Houseparents work at our Adams Campus that is nestled in an urban area between, Charlotte, NC and Columbia, SC, and conveniently located approximately 1 hour from the closest mountain range and beach. This one-home location is an extension of our main campus located in Greenwood, SC and provides residential care for boys and girls ranging from age five to eighteen.
