Sunrise Children's Services
Sunrise Children’s Services provides care and hope for hurting families and children through Christ-centered ministries. Sunrise Children’s Services has been at the forefront in the fight to protect Kentucky’s children since 1869. Today, Sunrise is a home for children who have been abused and neglected — children whose lives have been scarred by unspeakable physical, sexual, and emotional abuse — and who have been removed from their homes. From the president of our organization down to our direct care staff, our goal every day is to provide a place of refuge, of hope, of love, and of healing to these children whose lives have been devastated. For these children, Sunrise is a place where they can begin to feel safe, a place where they encounter adults who give unconditional love, and a place where they can begin to learn that the world can be a good place.

Seed to Oaks
We imagine a world where very local church is restoring their community to the glory of God. This vision of Seed to Oaks encapsulates a profound aspiration where every local church becomes an active agent of restoration within its community, reminiscent of the call in Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden.” Every church, irrespective of its size, is called to be a healer and builder, actively working towards rejuvenating its community.
At the heart of Seed to Oaks lies a profound and compelling mission: to mobilize the local church into action, positioning it at the very forefront of community transformation.
The term “mobilize” carries with it an urgency, a call to action. This mobilization is not just about getting churches involved; it’s about equipping them with the tools, resources, and mindset to take charge of community initiatives.

What began as a ministry to mountain children in 1899 grew into an outreach to young people from around the world. Located in a small rural village in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky, OBI is a school that has adapted to meet the needs of a changing society while remaining true to its Christian vision and purpose.
OBI accepts day students in grades K-12 and dormitory residents in grades 9 -12. We minister to our students in four major areas: academics, co-curriculars (athletics, clubs and organizations), work program and worship.
Every school deals with the minds of young people, but few, like Oneida, minister to the soul as well. While we respect the backgrounds and beliefs of all of our students, we steadfastly present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in daily chapel services. We provide additional fellowship and discipleship opportunities for young Christians or seekers in our Campus Ministry Program.
