About Shepard Educational Corp

Shepard Educational Corp exists to educate and empower through Christ-centered principles. Since our founding in 2007, we’ve partnered with churches, schools, and nonprofits to strengthen communities through leadership development, inclusive education strategies, and capacity building.

From local workshops to international conferences, our programs equip individuals for service in community development, missions, and marketplace leadership. We champion diversity and inclusion in both corporate and non-profit contexts, helping organizations design practical pathways that improve access, opportunity, and outcomes for every learner.

Our initiatives include training for educators and ministry teams, coaching for emerging leaders, youth mentorship, and strategic support to build and sustain missions, schools, and medical facilities. Recent gatherings—like our international “Fanning the Flames” conference—highlight how collaboration, prayer, and practical tools can spark long-term transformation.
