Humble Beginnings
Southeastern Children’s Home started more than 55 years ago with a single group home and a simple purpose: to provide care and hope to children in need.
Growth and Expansion
Guided by faith and compassion since day one, SECH has grown to include foster care, counseling services, and more. Each program reflects the same belief and commitment: to nurture hearts, strengthen families, and help children thrive in safe, loving environments across the Carolinas.
Guided by Mission, Vision, and Values
Southeastern Children’s Home and Counseling Center is a Christian-based organization that provides care to needy children and families through foster care, adoption, maternity care, and counseling services. Our vision inspires us to be the model Christian-based organization for strengthening children and families in the Carolinas. And our values shape every decision, interaction, and program we offer.
We Value:
- Safety, as we honor the importance of providing a physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe place.
- Family, doing everything we do for children in the context of a family unit.
- Discipline, which we define as training, guiding, and praising to promote right actions.
- The power of example, because we understand that we lead most powerfully by example rather than words.
- Compliance with the law, recognizing our Christian responsibility to willingly obey and comply with all civil and spiritual laws.
- Our historical association with the Church of Christ. We see the salvation of souls as our highest calling and ambition.
- Stewardship, understanding that we honor God when we make careful and prudent use of the resources He provides.
- Quality care, which we define as providing for the four-fold development of children and families in our care: Physical, Intellectual, Social, and Spiritual.
