Welcome...

I came to Christ in 1990 during my second unplanned pregnancy with twins and have been serving the Lord as a single mom since then. During these years of parenting, I faced and continue to face the same struggles that you have.

One of the greatest blessings in my life is that I have been given friends to share the joys and struggles of life with. It is great to be excited about something and to be able to pick up the phone and share that joy with another person. When I am facing a battle, I can call up a few dear friends to pray with me. I am not alone. God has given me support.

This fellowship was started so that other single parents can experience the same joy that I experience by providing affordable, kid friendly events where Christian friendships can be made and life can be enjoyed. I would like to point out that this is not geared to single mothers only. We extend the right hand of fellowship to single dads who are out there whether the children are with you full time or not.

I pray that these events will encourage you in your faith, to build your home on the foundation of God’s Word and that "being rooted and grounded in love", may have power together with all the saints to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Shepherd's Gate does not belong to me. It is a gift to you, the single parent, from Jesus. Take this gift and make it your own it. Care for it and see what God does. I invite you to be a co-laborer in Christ. Send me an email with suggestions for future events .

In Him,
