Become a Houseparent Couple at Calvary Children's Home

Live-In Full-Time Paid Housing + Salary + Benefits Powder Springs, GA


Is God calling you and your spouse to something more?

  • Have you dreamed of using your home and heart to serve children in need of stability and love?
  • Are you seeking a purpose-filled lifestyle-not just a job-with eternal significance?
  • Do you believe every child deserves to experience what it means to be part of a healthy, faith-rooted family?


If so, Calvary Children's Home may be where your next chapter begins.


About the Role: Ministry Meets Family Life

As a Houseparent couple, you'll live in one of our on-campus cottages and serve as the daily caregivers, spiritual mentors, and family models for children who've experienced loss, hurt, or disruption. You'll cultivate a loving, Christian home through structure, nurturing relationships, and Christ-centered discipleship.


This role is ideal for married couples-whether mid-career, recently retired, or seeking vocational ministry together-who desire to serve hand-in-hand and make a tangible, lifelong difference.


What You'll Do

You'll create a rhythm of life that offers safety, healing, and growth for up to 8 children, ages 6-18. Your core responsibilities will include:

  • Establishing a peaceful, family-style home with routines, meals, devotions, and shared life
  • Teaching practical skills and healthy habits-cleanliness, homework routines, social graces
  • Disciplining with compassion, consistency, and the heart of a mentor-not as an enforcer
  • Partnering with teachers, counselors, and staff to ensure each child's full well-being
  • Hosting birthdays, holidays, and special milestones as family celebrations
  • Attending church, modeling prayer and spiritual rhythms, and supporting each child's walk with God
  • Coordinating medical appointments, school needs, and extracurricular activities


You'll work in 10-day shifts, followed by 4 days off-with full support from relief houseparents during your time away.


Your Profile

You're not just looking for employment-you're discerning a calling. The right fit is a couple who:

  • Shares a deep, active Christian faith and heart for vulnerable children
  • The candidate needs to be aligned in purpose and ready to serve full-time.
  • Has the emotional maturity, patience, and resilience to love children through their wounds and past disappointments
  • Enjoys creating a peaceful, well-ordered, and joyful home life
  • Embraces teamwork, community, and flexible living in a campus setting
  • May or may not have prior experience-training is provided
  • May have up to two dependent children of your own living with you

  • Competitive salary
  • Paid housing, food/groceries, and utilities in a private 2-bedroom on-campus apartment
