Texas Baptist Children’s Home Celebrates 75 Years

A Legacy of Changed Lives Since that first act of faith, TBCH has walked alongside families, oering a path forward. The ministry has helped families experience the transformative power of God’s love and grace for generations. At the 75th Anniversary Celebration, alumni shared powerful testimonies of how their lives had been changed through the ministry. One mother spoke of how the Family Care program gave her the support to rebuild her family. TBCH is expanding capacity, ensuring greater safety and security for those served, and oering community services where new dreams can grow. With God’s guidance and the unwavering support of dedicated sta, donors, friends, and the community, the work Mr. and Mrs. Henna began will live on for generations to come.

Texas Baptist Children’s Home (TBCH) gathered with the Children At Heart family of ministries along with supporters, alumni, and community leaders to celebrate a remarkable milestone: 75 years of service to children and families in need. The anniversary dinner was more than just an event. It was a tribute to the countless lives transformed through decades of compassionate ministry. It all began in 1950 with the founding of Texas Baptist Children’s Home in Round Rock, Texas. Louis and Billie Sue Henna stepped out in faith, daring to dream of a refuge for children. From 112 acres and five buildings, a legacy was born. One that has brought home, hope, and healing to thousands. Their simple yes became a ripple of transformation that continues to grow today.
