Farm is a Christ-centered organization that provides a nurturing Christian home
for boys in a residential setting. We

a transformative impact in their lives. As a House Parent, you will manage the children
in your house, and will be part of a team like-minded couples on our campus.
You will help establish and maintain a steady daily routine for the children
that you are responsible for, including: waking up, breakfast, transportation
to school or appointments, daily chores and daily leisure activities and
exercise, study time, personal hygiene, devotions and bedtime. You will keep
medical files and related reports for children, and also manage school and extracurricular
special activities. You will maintain inspection-ready upkeep of the cottage
facility and vehicle, with safety as your top priority. You will participate in
regular, ongoing training, and you will model and teach daily living skills to
children under your care. Boys Farm is situated
on 300 acres right outside the City of Newberry, with a picturesque 5K nature
trail, stocked ponds, and ball fields. Our
campus is located close to Lake Murray and Lake Greenwood, 1.5 hours from the
mountains, and 3 hours to the beach! We are looking for married couples who
would like to live and work on our beautiful residential campus with other
