Christian Family Services, Inc., (CFS) was established in 1973 by the Churches of Christ in the St. Louis Area.  Their interest was to serve children in need of temporary care outside their own homes, but since has expanded its work to include adoptive care for children and counseling for individuals and families.  The agency's purpose is to serve God by touching the lives of the community, showing them His love.  Though all foster parents, adoptive parents and staff are Christian, services are provided to foster children, adoptive children, natural parents, and counseling clients without regard to religious affiliation.

The Vaughn Hill church of Christ supports this organization in many ways.
