Tennessee Baptist Children's Homes, Inc, a non-profit organization founded in 1891, is a ministry of the churches of the Tennessee Baptist Convention which provides residential care to children. The organization has six locations: campuses in Bartlett, Millington, Brentwood, and Chattanooga; as well as cottages located in Kingsport and Oakdale. Single parents and their children are cared for at our Houses of Healing and Hope in Brentwood. == History == In 1891, a group of women from Nashville's First Baptist Church, led by Mrs. Georgia Eastman, founded the ''Tennessee Baptist Orphans' Home''. The Tennessee Baptist Orphans' Home was first housed in the Delaware Hotel in West Nashville. In 1911, land was purchased from Major C.T. Cheek and the orphans' home was moved to its present location in Brentwood. For many years children were served at this one location. In 1950 a second campus was opened in Memphis, and in 1954 one followed in Chattanooga. By the 1950s most of the children in residence were from homes in crisis, not orphans, so board members decided in 1953 to rename the ministry to more accurately reflect its work—Tennessee Baptist Children's Homes.
