A place of joy and growth for children in need
Our mission is to provide healing, hope and a future for children in need, to the glory of The Lord Jesus Christ.
At Shiloh Garden, children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned, or whose parents are simply unable to care for them, find a home filled with love and a chance to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.
Serving the Louisville, KY and surrounding areas, Shiloh Garden will give each child we serve a family, a home and a community – a stable place to belong and be loved, to be deeply cared for and nurtured, with the structure and support that will help each child thrive.

Our Homes
Each home will include a loving, married Christian couple, who serve as Mom and Dad, and as many as five siblings of differing ages. The home environment and daily life, including education and wrap-around services, are designed to help these children understand the love of The Lord and of family. We believe it is the transformative power of that love that unlocks the healing process.
Children in Our Community Need Our Help
Given the high rates of child abuse, neglect, family instability, homelessness, drug addiction, and parent incarceration, the need for safe and stable homes for children across Kentucky continues to grow. Shiloh Garden is committed to supporting these vulnerable, suffering children by providing them with a loving, Christian home, filled with the hope and support they need to transform their futures.
Our Future Plans
Shiloh Garden will be a “village”, a small and vibrant community of homes and support for children, set in the backdrop of God’s creation. We are prayerfully seeking God’s will to provide land and necessary resources.
Shiloh Garden will have communal spaces for indoor and outdoor exploration, including fields, playgrounds, forest / nature play areas, and of course, gardens.
Shiloh Garden will be licensed as a child placement agency by the state of Kentucky, and will license each individual home, ensuring that every home continually meets all regulatory standards.
