Shepherd’s Harbor began with a simple belief: every person has a place in the body of Christ.
As this ministry grows, our vision is to help churches become places where individuals affected by disabilities and their families are not only welcomed, but fully included, supported, and valued.
The future of Shepherd’s Harbor is a future where no family wonders if their loved one belongs in the church.
As Shepherd’s Harbor develops, we hope to provide churches with resources and support to create sustainable disability ministries.
Future areas of growth include:
Helping churches develop inclusive ministries that fit their community’s needs.
Equipping volunteers and ministry leaders with tools to better serve individuals with disabilities.
Creating stronger connections between families and the church community.
Connecting churches and ministries together so we can learn, grow, and serve alongside one another.
One day, we hope to see churches across communities become places where:
Families feel confident bringing their loved ones to church
Individuals with disabilities are recognized for their God-given gifts
Volunteers are equipped to serve with compassion and understanding
Every person knows they are seen, valued, and loved
“Those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable.”
— 1 Corinthians 12:22
Every person matters. Every person has purpose. Every person belongs.
The future of Shepherd’s Harbor is built through people who believe that the church should be a place where everyone can experience the love of Christ.
Whether you are a family, church, volunteer, or supporter, there is a place for you at Shepherd’s Harbor.
Every part matters. Every child belongs.
