"Dedicated to the Christian healing and restoration of adolescent girls at-risk for failure for over 60 years!"

House Parents


  Relief Houseparent Is Needed for adolescent girls at-risk for three consecutive 24 hour days a week beginning employment in August, 2007.

Please contact Steve Everroad at ETCH for additional information of salary and benefits at 423-542-4423 or email.

    East Tennessee Christian Home (ETCH) is a ministry of Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, primarily of East Tennessee, that has been dedicated to the healing and restoration of abused, neglected or abandoned children for over 50 years. Located on 18 acres of beautiful hilltop property, overlooking the town of Elizabethton Tennessee. We have served 26 young people in our last fiscal year of 2005-2006. Yes, we desire to hire more house parents WHEN the additional funding is provided by churches, individuals and businesses enabling the State to certify us for adding more adolescent girls at-risk. Presently, we receive NO State funding as we continue to be a faith-based non-profit para-church charitable organization.

    At ETCH, our focus is placed on strategies for emotional healing, individually tailored to the specific needs of the child. Our original slogan- " need, not creed"- is still very appropriate today. While we never force or coerce anyone to make a commitment against his or her will, Jesus Christ is still our reason for being East Tennessee Christian Home! We see our work as a ministry beyond mere "employment".

    Couples serve as house parents and serve as role models for the girls and  nurture them into becoming mature, responsible Christian adults. Everything we do; everything we plan; from the reasons why…to the practical "how to's" is all for the children!

This is YOUR chance to help… YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
