EMPOWERING PEOPLE FOR CHANGE

Building upward stability

Our neighbors on the near Eastside of Indianapolis live on the edge of crisis. Shepherd works to build assets into people’s lives so they can break the cycle of poverty. By fighting systemic causes and serving with life-long, relationship-based care, Shepherd makes a difference — physically, emotionally, spiritually, and academically.

THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF RELATIONSHIPS ​

Serving the community

Shepherd walks alongside our neighbors in every phase of life, meeting people where they are and encouraging them to lives of greater wholeness. We see and serve each person—from newborn babies to students, working families to lonely shut-ins—with wrap-around programs, one-on-one mentoring, and community outreach with a long-term focus.
