Live-In | Full-Time | Paid Housing + Salary + Benefits | Powder Springs, GA

Is God calling you and your spouse to something more?

• Have you dreamed of using your home and heart to serve children in need of stability and love?
• Are you seeking a purpose-filled lifestyle—not just a job—with eternal significance?
• Do you believe every child deserves to experience what it means to be part of a healthy, faith-rooted family?

About the Role: Ministry Meets Family Life

As a Houseparent couple , you’ll live in one of our on-campus cottages and serve as the daily caregivers, spiritual mentors, and family models for children who’ve experienced loss, hurt, or disruption. You’ll cultivate a loving, Christian home through structure, nurturing relationships, and Christ-centered discipleship.

This role is ideal for married couples—whether mid-career, recently retired, or seeking vocational ministry together—who desire to serve hand-in-hand and make a tangible, lifelong difference.

What You'll Do

You’ll create a rhythm of life that offers safety, healing, and growth for up to 8 children, ages 6–18. Your core responsibilities will include:

• Establishing a peaceful, family-style home with routines, meals, devotions, and shared life
• Teaching practical skills and healthy habits—cleanliness, homework routines, social graces
• Disciplining with compassion, consistency, and the heart of a mentor—not as an enforcer
• Partnering with teachers, counselors, and staff to ensure each child’s full well-being
• Hosting birthdays, holidays, and special milestones as family celebrations
• Attending church, modeling prayer and spiritual rhythms, and supporting each child’s walk with God
• Coordinating medical appointments, school needs, and extracurricular activities

You’ll work in 10-day shifts, followed by 4 days off—with full support from relief houseparents during your time away.
