· The story of Methodist Foster Care begins in 2015 when Louisiana United Methodist Children & Families Services saw Louisiana was about to experience a huge loss of therapeutic foster care homes following a national provider’s decision to leave our state. We responded by creating Methodist Foster Care and we have grown to provides therapeutic foster care services throughout Louisiana. We have offices in Monroe, Alexandria, Lafayette, Covington, Houma, and Shreveport. Our mission is we guide children and families home to experience God’s love by following the teaching of Christ. We are able to fulfill our mission by providing a holistic approach to healing children from hard places.
