​

Molding Mighty Men was established in 1994, as Coach Penn coached Basketball for Christ Fellowship Atlanta. Many athletes were in fatherless homes or were at eisk of academic failure. He found that monthly Bible Studies held at The Shepherd's Training Academy cultivated spirtual formation and faith development and promoted social and emotional development. Coach Penn served as the athletic director and established tee ball, basketball, baseball, basketball and flag football programs where student athletes devloped fundamental skills and Christian character simultaneously. He offered physical education classes and Blessed andBright Preschool and Church on Main of Snellville over the years. Coach Penn became a coach and Bible Teacher for Young Americans Christian School in 2016 and The Shepherd's Academy in 2020. After witnessing firsthand the impact upon pandemic related anxiety and social media upon student and parent requests, he relaunched Molding Mighty Men.
