All God's Children Mission Statement
“All God’s Children provides care and support to young mothers and their children and families. Through Christ-centered ministries, our non-profit organization offers safe, temporary shelter and programs which address their physical, emotional, education and spiritual needs.

Have Someone from AGC Speak to Your
Church, Group or Organization
Karl Smith, CEO of All God’s Children is a passionate speaker who brings truth from God’s Word on a variety of topics to different groups. If you would be interested in having Karl share his story with your church, group, organization, etc., he offers four general presentation formats (from 20 to 45 minutes per presentation):
- A personal testimony about how his life came full circle to the creation of All God's Children with his wife Pam. This format is usually done in church settings or with church-related groups and is designed for mixed (male/female) audiences.
- A personal testimony designed for men. This format includes the many obstacles Karl had to overcome in accepting and serving Jesus. Although this format is designed for male audiences, it can be tailored to women who have gone through similar situations with a spouse, boyfriend, or even a child.
- An overview of the history and purpose of All God's Children. This format is best for groups who have very little knowledge of All God's Children. Designed for mixed (male/female) audiences.
- A hard-hitting look at child abuse, neglect, and the failure of many parents today. This is designed for adults who have some knowledge of All God's Children and want to understand how critical the program is in today’s culture. Designed for mixed (male/female) audiences.

All God's Children Statement of Faith
We believe…..
…the Bible to be the infallible Word of God, it is His Holy and inspired Word, and that it is of supreme and final authority.
…in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
…Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. He led a sinless life, took all of our sins on Himself, died and rose again, and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our mediator and advocate.
…that all mankind everywhere are lost and face the judgement of God, and need to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ alone, through His shed blood on the cross, and by grace through faith alone.
…that Christ rose from the dead and is coming soon.
…there exists a literal heaven as an eternal destiny for those in personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and a literal hell for those who die without Christ.
…in holy Christian living, and that we must have concern for the hurts and social needs of our fellow humankind.
…we must dedicate ourselves to be on mission in the service of our Lord and to his authority over our lives. The vehicle through which that is accomplished is the local church.
…in using every modern means of communication available to us to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world with creativity and integrity.
