Good Shepherd Children's Home

The Good Shepherd Children’s Home is a Christian-based home for disadvantaged boys and girls facing difficult circumstances in their lives, many times at no fault of their own. Many of the children we serve struggle with the effects of poverty, abuse or neglect and in most cases, just need stability and a little extra love and support to reach their full potential.

Our goal is to provide hope and healing in a Christian environment, where kids can develop academically, physically, socially, and most important, spiritually.

We strive to make each child feel safe, loved, and cared for and to provide them with a biblical perspective for life and an understanding that they are special and that God has a perfect plan for their life if they will let Him have control.

Please pray that we can make a difference in the lives of the children God sends our way.

Our History

The Good Shepherd Children’s Home began under the leadership of Bro. Woodrow Medlock and shortly after was under the headship of Fred and Martha Kemle who continued to serve faithfully for twenty-seven years. They became affectionately known to the children as “Uncle” Fred and “Aunt” Martha.” They served as “Mom and Dad” for at least some period, to over eight hundred young people during that time. Since Uncle Fred’s death in 1992, the home has been under the leadership of several loving couples including Mike and Sandy Glanzer, Jim and Patty Scalf, and Mike and Barb Juneau. Currently the Home is under the leadership John Jones as President and Randal Graby as Director with Robert and LeeAnn Brown serving as houseparents.

The main home, built in 1964, is approx. 8,000 sf and can easily accomodate 28 children. We have a girls wing with 7 bedrooms, a boys wing with 7 bedrooms, a large kitchen and dining room, a family room, laundry room, office and lots for bathrooms. We are also blessed to have a small gymnasium on the property that is used for recreation and schooling and a small pond.
