Meet Our Founder/CEO

“Every child deserves a place to feel loved, valued, and safe — that is our mission.”

With over 21 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, I serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Child of the King Children Services Inc., a faith-based nonprofit founded in 2003 to serve homeless and vulnerable youth.

Over the years, our dedicated team has worked tirelessly to meet immediate needs within our community — providing food, clothing, and compassionate outreach to children and families facing housing insecurity. While we have made a difference one life at a time, our vision extends beyond immediate relief.

Today, we are seeking the support of compassionate donors and partners to help us take the next step: establishing a residential group home that will provide temporary shelter and care for children and youth in crisis — a place where they can heal, grow, and experience the love of Christ.

Our goal is to help young people reconcile with their families whenever possible and, when needed, to assist in adoption services that connect them with permanent, loving homes.

With faith as our foundation and love as our guiding force, we are building toward a future where every child knows they are seen, valued, and cared for.

– Elsie McKenzie, Founder/CEO
