Shepherd's Center of Topeka

As the branches on a tree are unique, so too are we. 

Do not lump us into a graying mass but see us as the unique individuals we are,

 

with our own set of talents and experiences.

 

The success of  Shepherd's Center is based upon valuing what each of us brings to the table.

We are a Christian nonprofit ministry established to meet the mental, physical and spiritual needs of aging adults.  We are open to anyone 55 and older, of all faiths, or having no religion, in our quest for bringing fellowship to others. 

Shepherd's Center of Topeka is sponsored by 28 congregations and 10 community partners.  Each sponsor is committed to our mission and enables us to carry out our work by donating time, talent, money, or food and by promoting us in the community.  We are considered an extension of each sponsoring church's "outreach ministry" and an extension of "services provided to the elderly" for our sponsoring community partners. We believe that our programs, classes and fieldtrips bring joy to the lives of participants. Opportunities to volunteer provide a sense of purpose.

Shepherd's Center of Topeka is geographically located at 3033 SW MacVicar Avenue (66611) which is south of the intersection of 29th & MacVicar at the corner of 30th & MacVicar.  We are hosted by the First Baptist Church with an office entrance at the southeast door; and an "Adventure's in Learning" entrance through the double doors on the west side adjacent to the large parking lot.

The National Guard Swing Band will be playing at Gage Park on July 2, 2009 at 7:30 p.m.  This is a free community concert.

The KC Royals SCT fieldtrip, sponsored by Atria, will start by leaving the First Baptist parking lot at 5:00 on Friday evening, July 17th.  You'll have a sack supper and bottled water enroute.  We will be late getting back because there is a fireworks display following the game.
