Who We Are

Maude Carpenter Children's Home began as an act of benevolence in 1943 by a congregation of the Church of Christ in downtown Wichita, Kansas.  In the decades since, the ministry has evolved with the ever-changing needs of the children and their families.  Several years ago our emphasis changed to provide homes for girls only.  Our goals have expanded to provide them with extensive training and counseling to meet their needs after they leave our environment.   Today our goal is to provide "homes for children .... help for families".  

We do not accept state or federal aid for our services, but depend on the generosity of individuals and churches in order to freely provide Christian-based training and education.

Our campus is located at 1501 N Meridian in Wichita, Kansas. We invite you to visit our facilities at any time.  To schedule a guided tour, please contact our office at 316-942-3221.

Nelson Cottage

Built in 1970 as the home of the director of MCCH, this home was named in honor of Florence Nelson in 1984 after it had been remodeled to accommodate residents. Currently the cottage is home for the Intensive Life Skills (ILS) program for young ladies.  This is an independent living program for females, ages 16 through 21. The program is designed for girls to learn the necessary skills to become independent while maintaining adult supervision.
 

Barrett Cottage

Barrett Cottage honors the memory of Morris T. Barrett, longtime Board of Trustees chairman. The home was built in 1972 following Morris' untimely death in 1970.  The cottage is the relief cottage where children are placed when live-in houseparents have a "relief break". All of the cottage parents are on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
 

Marguerite Rountree Nicolay Campus Center

Built in 1994, this center of activity on campus was named in honor of Marguerite Nicolay, a Wichita business owner and great supporter of children's causes.  She was the first woman to serve on the MCCH Board of Trustees, an amazing example of generosity and leadership.
 

Harrold Cottage

In 2003, Van Harrold chaired the Wings Like Eagles campaign to build a new home and accomplish campus improvements. The home was named for Van and Mary Ann Harrold.  This is where a child is placed upon arriving at MCCH and is provided with a structured program.  A total number of seven girls, ages 6 through 18, may be housed in this cottage.
