Mission & Values

Mission Statement:  We walk with each mother, trapped in a crisis lifestyle, on her journey towards faith, wholeness, and lasting stability.

Foundation House Ministries provides homes for women in crisis pregnancies and aid as much as we can: financially, physically, emotionally and most importantly spiritually. We know how crucial it is to have a strong, and stable support system when you’re expecting, so we’ll do everything in our power to make sure you are in loving hands while you are here. In addition, we enjoy sharing life lessons and approaches towards parenting.


Here at Foundation House Ministries, we are a community of strength and love and we’d love to have you!Stop by and visit our offices at 258 Broad Street, Suite 202, Cleveland, TN. We are located above Gardner’s Market, one block before the courthouse and directly across the street from Broad Street UMC.


Our office hours are Monday through Friday at 9 am to 4 pm. We would love to give you the Grand Tour!


Client Housing is located in an undisclosed location in Cleveland, TN.
