Houseparent couples must possess certain personal characteristics unique to this position that will help the kids lead to successfully fulfilling this extremely important calling.

  • Utilizing one’s unique gifts and abilities for the glory of God and the good of children

· Generous compensation that includes a salary, free room and board, and health care contributions

At New Song, children become equipped for life through compassionate, comprehensive, holistic care. The boys and girls at New Song thrive through biblical discipleship, caring relationships, and academic instruction, leadership training, and other opportunities, by God’s grace. As a ministry team, staff works together to provide the education, experiential learning, social/emotional growth opportunities, recreational experiences, and spiritual mentoring that kids need in order to grow and thrive. Houseparents must have a close walk with Jesus in order to successfully carry out their responsibilities and work in unity with fellow team members.

Collaboration:  Houseparents are a part of a broader ministry team, and as such, houseprents must be exceptional team players who have a genuine willingness to serve in areas outside of the normal houseparent roles to assist others on campus when the need arises. This includes tutoring in the classrooms, participating in community activities on campus, and welcoming others such as supporters or those touring the campus into the home with a hospitable, open-door mentality. Houseparents also assist with the ministry’s marketing, communications, and fundraising efforts in various ways.
