Visit & Connect

You're Invited

The life of faith has always been about relationships. God's relationship with us—the promise that we're valued and loved just as we are—is lived out in our relationships with others. We connect with friends and neighbors, with the needs of our community, with the concerns of the world.

 

We think of ourselves as a community of believers, questioners and questioning believers. Whether you're new to Good Shepherd, a member or a regular, please join us for worship or to any of our service, learning and fellowship activities. Help us build a #biggerTable!
