Miss Gladys Hinson founded Hillcrest Children's Home (originally called the National Children's Home of the Assemblies of God) in 1944. She said, "God has given us a vision of hundreds and thousands of neglected children, of those from broken homes, of the orphans and those who will yet be orphaned by the war." Today, Hillcrest continues to serve children and adolescents who need transitional living as well as those with developmental disabilities or those needing qualified residential treatment.
