Arizona Baptist Children’s Services & Family Ministries (ABCS) was founded in 1960 by Arizona Southern Baptists as a home for displaced children. Over 60 years later, we have seven ministries with one mission: to provide hope and care to hurting children and families through Christ-centered ministries.

We strive to live by the ABCS Core Values:

Amanda is an all around ugly person to work for. She lies, is condescending and has poor self esteem issues. I don't recommend this agency.

Truly enjoyed being a volunteer, I have grown deeper with my walk with God by being his hand his feet. Now it's my place of employment, where I have the ability to reflect God's love.

This organization truly cares for people and the community . Everyone’s vision is to provide hope and care to people. It’s not about the job, the tasks, the financial numbers, the outcome it’s just about meeting people’s needs in a Christ centered loving way whether through counseling , providing food boxes,, diapers and resources, licensing parents in foster care, giving pregnancy tests and mentoring , visitations etc. This place has heart .
