Evangelical Child and Family Agency provides hope and healing to children, adults, and families through compassionate, Christ-centered, quality social services from a biblical perspective.

Adoption - Healthy newborn, embryo adoption, special needs, inter-state & international are some of the services provided by ECFA. God has built many families through ECFA.

Counseling clients served include couples, families and individuals of all ages (including play therapy for children).  Daytime and evening appointments are available.  

Intact Family Services - ECFA helps parents correct situations related to abuse or neglect so children can have the help and protection they need while remaining home with their parents. Case Managers provide intensive home based services to families in DuPageCounty who are at risk of having a child placed in foster care. The goal is to strengthen families so this does not occur.
