The Missouri Association of Christian Child Care Agencies, Inc., serves as a state fellowship of Christian childcare programs that voluntarily choose to be accredited by their Christian peers. We believe high standards of care ought to be an evident priority in our ministries. We seek to unite all faith-based, Christ-centered residential programs in Missouri to achieve excellence in services to all children placed in our facilities.

In addition to annual inspections and accountability, MACCCA offers assistance to fellow ministries in their attempt to comply with the highest standards of care for children needing placement outside their home. We strive to maintain religious liberty for operation and set a standard in the state for top-quality, cost-effective, out-of-home placement resources with proven results.

Christ compels us to offer hope and healing to the most vulnerable members of our society: children who need care beyond their biological families for whatever reason. Merely offering food and shelter falls short of our gospel goals. Full transformation occurs when children receive the scale of support necessary to face a healthy future – incorporating the good news that God loves them and can use each shattered piece of their past to fashion a beautiful future and an excellent eternity.
