When you join The BCV team you are signing up to change lives.
There are thousands of children and families in Mississippi that feel hopeless because of the anxiety, instability and pain they face everyday. They need their physical and emotional needs met but that’s not enough. In order to experience true hope, they need to meet Jesus.
We are on a mission at The BCV to introduce them to the good news that says…
You are safe.
You are heard.
You are loved.
You are not alone.
You are valued.
You have a Savior.
In Him there is hope.
Our trauma-informed, residential and non-residential programs are designed to help families experience those things while providing the support and resources they need to thrive.
We believe that when children and families have holistic support that meets their physical, emotional and spiritual needs they can grow into mature and thriving Christian adults.

The at-risk children and families in our State deserve to thrive.
