A Message from Our President

Leading with Faith and Vision

james swain

Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children (OBHC) exists to show and share the love of Christ to children and their families. This mission flows from this verse in 1 John 3 that teaches us that love is ultimately seen in what we do. The pages of this report share how the ministries of OBHC did just that in 2025. The numbers, pictures and stories show how God moved to put His love in action.

Dr. James L. Swain

President of OBHC

Financial Responsibility

OBHC depends on the generosity of caring people and churches. While there is no charge for services, families may make donations to OBHC or be involved in their child’s care by providing for special needs that arise. Families are expected to pay for all medical needs during the child’s time of placement.

Funding Our Ministry

Approximately 5% of OBHC’s budget comes from Oklahoma’s Southern Baptist churches through the Cooperative Program. The remaining 95% of gifts are given by individuals, businesses, churches, and foundations. These gifts allow OBHC to provide excellent care to children in need of a home. OBHC is an affiliate corporation of Oklahoma Baptists.

Accountability & Accreditation

We are committed to the highest standards of financial integrity and organizational excellence.
