Company Overview

In 1957, a Milwaukee area Sunday School Class had a vision.

A family in their congregation had a child with a mental disability, and they saw a need to provide greater opportunities for other children and families. They began a Shepherds Sunday School Class and soon realized that God had mighty plans for them. As the Shepherds Sunday School class grew, this group of people began stepping out in faith. The committee began looking for land where they could expand opportunities for education and schooling for children.

In 1964, Shepherds Home & School opened its doors welcoming 36 children. There was a program in place to educate and train children. Many children learned to read and write that prior to living at Shepherds had no opportunity to learn such skills. As the children became teenagers, the schooling began to include job training.

Since then, many of those children and teenagers have grown to adulthood and still reside at Shepherds. In the transition from children to adult residents, there was less focus on schooling and more focus on vocational training. At this time, Shepherds Baptist Ministries, Inc. and SERVE Enterprises, a division of Shepherds, work together to provide compassionate Christian care and vocational training for adults that have mental disabilities.
