About
In response to Christ’s calling, New Song Mission offers loving homes and a private education for young children whose prospects are severely threatened by dysfunctional family situations. The New Song approach represents a proven alternative and fantastic news for children who deserve a second chance at childhood.
Hope
New Song Mission has been created to provide hope, opportunity, and homes to boys and girls in Indiana that have been orphaned or otherwise abused and abandoned by their parents. There are hundreds of children in central Indiana that are suffering at the hands of neglectful parents. Growing up with violence, addiction, neglect and abuse, these children are often removed from their homes and placed into the state's child welfare system.
Though these youth are in "the system," in many cases they need more care than the state can provide. They need safe and loving homes that provide stability and care. This is the alternative that New Song offers.
New Song's Mission is to provide the loving home environment that these orphaned youth crave. New Song is the solid starting point for the rest of their lives. Our program is based on existing programs and ministries from across the country, and our exhaustive research. By incorporating the best components of several outstanding ministries, New Song is a children's home unlike any other in the state of Indiana.
As New Song’s Executive Director, Bob Schloss personally identifies with the loss and abandonment issues faced by the children he now seeks to help heal. Growing up on the south side of Fort Wayne, Indiana in a fractured family, Bob had only sporadic contact with his father. Bob’s understanding and compassion towards traumatized children grew significantly through 15 years of service as a lawyer, deputy prosecuting attorney, youth ministry leader, and most recently, serving for five years as a senior-level administrator in a large and prominent children’s home in northern Indiana. Bob and his wife, Lisa, who is a licensed clinical social worker, have been married for 19 years, actively fostered children for seven years and are the parents of four teenage boys. In October 2003 they were called to serve Indiana’s hurting children by creating New Song Mission.
