Circle of Care

The Oklahoma United Methodist Circle of Care has cared for Oklahoma children and youth through residential and foster care families since 1917. Our mission is to provide help, healing and wholeness to children, youth and families who are hurting or in need.

The basic premise of the Oklahoma United Methodist Circle of Care is that we do not see the children, youth and families that we serve as "at-risk" but "at-promise" because we believe that every person has received special gifts from God. We believe that being loved and accepted heals hurts that can be healed by no other means. Those in our programs and within our families' homes are provided with a loving, nurturing environment to help them understand that there is a better way to live. They are also taught skills to help them deal with real-life situations, given a quality education and provided with the counseling help they need to turn their lives around.

Since 1917, Circle of Care has been helping people make better choices, live happier lives, and find hope and promise in their tomorrows. All services are available to Oklahoma residents without regard to race, gender, age, marital or financial status.

The children, youth and families of Oklahoma find help, healing and hope through our Christ-centered services. We combine Christian influence with a therapeutic continuum of professional services. Our residential group homes and foster care services minister to the changing physical, emotional and spiritual needs of individuals.

Circle of Care is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 agency with historic roots in Oklahoma and the United Methodist Church.

Circle of Care is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) and the Educational Assessment Guidelines Leading toward Excellence (EAGLE Program) an accreditation program of the United Methodist Association of Health and Welfare Ministries. We are licensed by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) and an agency of the United Way.
