Tennessee Baptist Adult Homes 50th Year Anniversary
Celebrating 50 Years of Service
1974-2024
Father’s Day promotion for TBAH Board Members 2024
Tennessee Baptist Adult Homes provides a Christian residential ministry
for two specific and distinct groups of people; financially needy senior
adults and adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.
There are two locations, in Humboldt and in Johnson City, where
financially needy seniors are provided a modest duplex apartment for
rent that is based on a sliding scale. Retired pastors and missionaries are
given priority admission to these rental homes.
There are four locations where adults with intellectual and
developmental disabilities are cared for in a family-like group home
arrangement. These locations are Hermitage, Lebanon, Knoxville, and
Jacksboro, serving 55 men and women with disabilities.
The senior adult side of the Adult Homes ministry began in 1974, making
this year the 50th anniversary of providing care. The group homes side,
though, is only 35 years old, having begun in 1989. It is the group home
ministry that has created the need for the annual Father’s Day offering
which was initiated in 2001. The President of Adult Homes at the time, Dr.
Kenny Cooper, strongly believed that the group homes were going to
continue to require more financial support than the Cooperative Program
was going to be able to provide and that’s why the Father’s Day offering
came to be. Turns out, Dr. Cooper was right.
Unfortunately, the Father’s Day offering has not grown in its 23-year
history to a level that can onset the deficits that are incurred in providing
this care. Brainerd-Chattanooga Campus, our support is more urgent
than ever, and it is imperative that we help Adult Homes reach its
statewide goal of $500,000 this year.
