Who we are
Good Shepherd exists to invite all people to grow into a Christ-centered life in God's family.
If you're thinking of joining us for the first time, please feel free to come as you are. Because our church is made up of different generations, varying perspectives, and differing life experiences, people dressed in their "Sunday best" worship alongside others in t-shirts and flip flops.
Children, an important part of our community, are welcome to be children... Which means they are welcome to sing and dance along to vibrant, guitar led music as well as classic hymns (if they're feelin' it!). We love that - and believe their presence can help us adults open ourselves up to God's Spirit! If at any point your children get fidgety, please don't worry about it - we're a family, after all!
Upon arriving, during, and after our gatherings, there will be opportunities to say hello to others around you. Feel free to introduce yourself, or if you'd rather not, that's okay too!
Both our classic and modern gatherings feature the same message from one of our two pastors.
Hope to see you soon!

Inspire my thoughts
Holy Spirit of God, visit now this soul of mine, and tarry within it until the eventide. Inspire all my thoughts. Pervade all my imaginations. Suggest all my decisions. Lodge in my soul's most inward citadel, and order all my doings. Be with me in silence and in my speech, in my haste and in my leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and the weariness of the evening. Give me grace at all times to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.
