About Us
Welcome
The Shepherd’s Place Children’s Home and Academy is available for school-age children from families in crisis who are in need of care. We provide a loving environment in which they can stay and get a quality education to help equip them for a bright future.
Our theme at The Shepherd’s Place is “There’s a Better Way.” In all of life’s challenges, there is always hope and a better way forward to be embraced.
We recently finished two new cottages to serve more young people and are finishing a new preschool building so we can take in preschool-age children. Thank you for your interest in helping us help children! We appreciate your prayers and support.
