Baptist Care SA is a faith-based, not-for-profit community organisation that has been serving South Australia’s most vulnerable people for more than 110 years.

Our diverse community services programs engage, care and support people and families from all walks of life. They include residential care for children and young people, adventure camping, residential alcohol and other drugs rehabilitation, disability services, mental health support, youth education, community development programs and support for people experiencing homelessness.  

We express God’s love and compassion, especially to people at risk or marginalised, by journeying with them toward the attainment of their full potential.

Our history

We began in 1913 when the community of the West End Baptist Church started the West End Baptist Mission to provide a safe place for people living on the streets.
