AK Child & Family was formed in the 1970s as a merger of three denominational-based children’s homes—Lutheran, Methodist and Baptist. A fourth denomination, Disciples of Christ, came on board later. At the merger, agency leadership chose to hold three seats on the board of directors for members of each founding denomination.
