Rooted in Love. Committed to the Next Generation.
Father’s Love is a Christ-centered after-school ministry serving students in kindergarten through high school in Shelby County, Kentucky.
Since 1997, we’ve been creating a place where students are known, valued, and encouraged to grow through consistent relationships, academic support, enrichment, and faith.
See Our Mission in Action
Every day at Father’s Love, students experience more than an after-school program. They find caring mentors, academic support, opportunities to grow, and a place where they belong.
At the heart of our ministry is the simple commitment to show up, build meaningful relationships, and walk alongside students through every season of life.

We’re not simply building a new facility. We’re making room for more stories, more opportunities, and more lives to be impacted.
