Serving Children is a Murphy-Harpst Tradition
Serving children and families since 1924, Murphy-Harpst
is a childcare agency rich in history. Today, MH remains committed
to meeting the needs of children and their families in Georgia.
Our current multi-dimensional program grows out of this
rich history. Founded in 1931, the Sarah
D. Murphy Home was the one of the first orphanages in
the state of Georgia for African-American children. The Ethel
Harpst Center, located on 154 wooded acres in Cedartown,
Georgia, was founded in 1924 to care for dependent children
in need from the rural areas and mill communities. Over the
years, the programs of Murphy-Harpst Children's Centers has
grown to meet the changing needs of children and families.
Murphy-Harpst Children's Centers, Inc. is an independent
not-for-profit agency related to the General Board of Global
Ministries of the United Methodist Church. The services of
Murphy-Harpst are available to all children regardless of
sex, race, color, or creed, whose needs can be addressed and
treated within the scope of program services with the financial
resources of the agency.
