Purchase and Renovate the former Carolina Children's Home Campus

For the first time in 120 years, Epworth is able to expand its footprint.

The second campus allows Epworth to grow its residential programs as well as non-residential, community-based initiatives.  Located just two miles from Epworth's historic campus and adjacent to Trenholm Road United Methodist Church, the new campus allows Epworth to grow and expand its impact to the community without disrupting the high-quality residential cottages that remain at the heart of Epworth's ministry. 

Campus Expansion Capital Needs Goal:  $3,000,000


Epworth's Center for Independent Living helps youth overcome their pasts and prepare for a successful future.

Increasing the capacity to serve more children, youth and families.

There are many additional children who need the services that Epworth can provide.  Epworth is now expanding its present capacity and programs with the purchase, renovation, and staffing of the former Carolina Children’s Home campus.  This is a 19-acre campus on which there are 14 buildings that can be used for residential, and other support services for at risk children and families.  To secure this property, Epworth has borrowed funds on a short-term basis at a very low rate of interest.
  • Purchase Property (Completed, Spring 2016)
  • Renovate and Open Phase I of campus, Independent Living Dormitory and Foster Care Center (Completed, Summer 2017)
  • Conduct campus use study and develop land use plan (in progress)
  • Prepare a Phase II renovation and activation plan for the Institute for Child and Family Wellbeing  (in progress)
  • Prepare Phase III, if necessary, construction/renovation and activation plan (2020 and beyond)
