Since 1896 Epworth Children’s Home in Columbia has welcomed children ages 12 and up who come from severely stressed family situations. This residential community provides nurture and love through education, counseling, medical care and spiritual enrichment to about eighty of the state’s most vulnerable citizens. Up to 25% of the home’s annual expenses are borne by the state’s Methodist congregations who also support the on-site Epworth Methodist Church.
