ABOUT US
All of God’s Children, Inc. is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to helping young adults build stability, independence, and hope for the future.
AGC’s work has evolved over time in response to the needs of the communities we serve. Today, our focus is supportive transitional housing, independent-living development, and connection to resources that help young adults move toward safe, stable, and self-sufficient adulthood.
Our approach combines housing, accountability, practical life-skills development, community partnerships, and individualized support.
OUR HISTORY
All of God’s Children was founded with a commitment to faith, service, compassion, and supporting individuals and families through challenging life transitions.
Over time, the organization’s work evolved in response to changing community needs. As AGC recognized the growing need for safe, stable housing and practical support for young adults transitioning into adulthood, the organization expanded its focus toward transitional housing and independent-living services.
Today, AGC provides supportive transitional housing, Supervised Independent Living pathways for eligible young adults, short-term and bridge housing, and connections to supportive resources that promote stability and long-term independence.
While our programs have evolved, our foundation remains the same: serving others with compassion, dignity, accountability, hope, and faith.

Harvey Shannon Jr.
Founder of All of God's Children Nonprofit Organization
Born on April 22, 1937, in Springfield, TN, Harvey Shannon Jr.—affectionately known as Brother Shannon—was a man of unwavering faith and a servant’s heart. He confessed his faith in Christ early in life, embracing Christian values that guided him throughout his remarkable journey of service and leadership.
Harvey attended Indianapolis Public Schools before answering the call to serve his country. He enlisted in the United States Army, dedicating 26 ½ years to military service and earning the rank of Master Sergeant. Throughout his distinguished career, he was recognized with numerous commendations, including the Bronze Star, the Army Commendation Medal, and several Meritorious Service Medals.
After retiring from the Army, Harvey continued to lead with integrity, serving as Head of Security at Target Warehouse and later contributing to the team at Lazarus Department Stores before retiring for a second time. His passion for lifelong learning and spiritual growth led him back to school, where he earned a degree in Christian Ministries from Indiana Wesleyan University.
As a visionary and founder of All of God's Children Nonprofit Organization, Harvey dedicated his life to advancing Christian principles and creating a space for individuals in need of direction, focus, and fellowship. The organization served the community through sober living programs and support for veterans, embodying Harvey’s commitment to faith, compassion, and service.
