Shepherd's Household Inc

We offer a loving Christian home for children to learn about the Lord and the wonderful world He has given us. We teach more than just school - we teach about life. We help the boys take responsibility for themselves and their actions. We teach them to admit their mistakes and to learn from them. We encourage them to explore new horizons and to keep trying. We show them they are a person of worth.

The children who come to our school receive an educational plan tailored to meet their specific needs with lots of one-on-one instruction from dedicated, loving teachers. We teach them reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, and the Bible. We teach them how God made a world that all fits together. We use the Switched-on Schoolhouse curriculum which is based on the King James Bible and incorporates basic Bible teachings in all areas of study. We teach them how God made a world that all fits together. Most importantly, we teach the boys that God loves them and sent His son, Jesus, to die on the cross for their sins. We teach them that a personal relationship with the Lord and asking Him to be their Savior is the most important decision they will ever make.

We are Joseph and Lisa Strickland. We have been married for over 25 years. We love the Lord with all our hearts and we count it a great honor to serve Him. The Lord has been good to us through the years and He blesses us daily. Even in the tough times, God has blessed us by bringing us closer to Him and by proving His faithfulness so many times. We have tried to teach our own children and the boys who come to live with us that God is always good and He blesses obedience to Him. Does that mean life is always wonderful? No, but God always brings good from the trials and the mistakes we make. How can we not love a Savior who is always working things for our good?

God blessed us with two boys of our own Trey and Lane. He has also blessed us with the opportunity to share in the lives of many more boys who come to live with us here at The Shepherd's Household. Trey, our oldest son, is married to a wonderful young lady named Katie and they live in Thomasville, NC. Lane, our younger son, is sixteen and he still lives here with us. We are amazed that God trusted us to raise our two sons and to have a part in the lives of so many other young men. Trey and Katie gave us our grandchildren Hunter (3 years old) and Savannah (1 year old).
