(January 29, 1970)
Brethren from local Churches of Christ met at Mars Hill Bible School to
discuss the need and possibility of a Children's home in North Alabama. A
promissory note was signed, borrowing money to purchase the old McGee
school building and 3 acres of adjoining land.
(April 15, 1971)
A general meeting was held to set in place a permanent Board of
Trustees/Directors.
(May
1973)
After extensive remodeling of the McGee school building, the North Alabama
Children's Home began operation. Jerry Weems was the home's first
Administrator, who along with his wife Rachel, also served as the first House
parents for seven children.
(1994)
Our name was changed to the Christian Children Home to shorten the name,
reflect our broadened mission, and give reference to the strategic plan of
incorporating more "Homes" under the guidance and direction of the CCH
Board of Directors.
Between 1986 and
2000 several buildings were added to the campus:
1987: house parent's apartment added to the McGee Home
1989: Kent Cottage
2000: Caver Cottage
(April 2008)
Our name changed back to North Alabama Christian Children's Home.
After much discussion and prayerful consideration, the Board of Directors
determined that the shortened name... Christian Children Home's... did not
provide
adequate autonomy or identification for the
home.
