At Shepherd’s House Ministries, we provide food, shelter, and supportive programs for people experiencing homelessness and life-controlling challenges in Central Oregon.
We walk alongside each person at their own pace, offering care without judgment and support rooted in dignity, compassion, and hope.
Our faith guides our actions. We believe grace changes everything, and that belief shapes how we care for every neighbor who comes through our doors.
We extend divine grace, freely given and never earned, by offering mercy, dignity, and space for imperfection.
We tell the truth with kindness and clarity, beginning with self-awareness and extending to others.
At Shepherd’s House, compassion looks like showing up, staying present, and walking with people through their hardest seasons.
We believe in the power of beginning again, offering as many chances as it takes to grow and heal.
We all need mercy. At Shepherd’s House, mercy compels us to never give up on each other, and to look beyond the behavior and see the wound.
We know that true connection happens when we meet others with tenderness instead of judgment. To be with people who are suffering, we must be kind, and we hold their lives and stories as sacred.
We create safety and belonging by welcoming every story and every person through inclusive words, actions, and spaces.
We’ve come a long way since we began our journey of caring for the most vulnerable in our community. Read below to see how we’ve grown and changed over the years.
Shepherd’s House Ministries began with a simple commitment: to care for families experiencing homelessness in Central Oregon. With grassroots beginnings and deep community support, local churches and neighbors came together to respond to a growing need with compassion and action.
As needs grew, so did we. We expanded low-barrier shelters, developed housing options, and welcomed volunteers from across the community. Rather than focusing only on behavior change, we set out to expand so that we could genuinely change lives and show those in our community the grace and support they need. We grew to offer more comprehensive services and spread our reach farther, planting our roots deeper.
With three shelters and a growing network of programs, Shepherd’s House Ministries serves more people today than ever before. We have built a continuum of care that meets people where they are, from immediate essentials and safe shelter to long-term recovery and stability support. In our commitment to serve compassionately and effectively, we continue to adapt our services to meet the community's changing needs.
