Christmas time is just around the corner on the COMP ACT ^®  Campus. Christmas is a special, yet emotional time for our kids as well as our staff. Often times, it is the first time a child is away from his/her family or it is the first time Christmas will truly be celebrated. 

COMP ACT ^®  Christmas is a large operation on the Hillcrest campus and meets the needs at Christmas time as well as the continuing needs of our kids throughout the year. It is something that we could not accomplish without the help of donors.

Highlands Reopening in Missouri!

Highlands Child Placement and Maternity Services is a ministry of hope and life for unexpectant pregnant mothers, babies, and adoptive couples. Since its beginning in 1966, the ministry has placed over 3,000 babies in adoptions. In 2006, Highlands relocated operations from its 13-acre headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, to the 52-acre Hillcrest Children’s Home campus in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

During its annual meeting in October, the  COMPACT Family Services  board of directors approved the reopening of  Highlands Adoption and Maternity Services  in its state of origin, Missouri. While Highlands Maternity Home on the Hillcrest Campus in Hot Springs will continue, its placement services will shift to Springfield, Missouri. Missouri Director Ashley Grant says that Highlands will begin to offer services for a larger demographic of Assemblies of God constituents.

“We are excited to move forward by helping connect adoptive couples with birth mothers nationwide,” says COMPACT Executive Director  Jay Mooney .
