Fall sermon based small groups are forming now! The purpose of a sermon based small group is to actively pursue Christ through grace filled relationships. When you become a part of a small group, you find others who share the same goal — grow in their faith.

Small groups will begin meeting the week of Sunday, September 8th!

Worship was electric this past Sunday at Good Shepherd! We're grateful for the powerful moments of worship and the joy of celebrating baptisms. 🫶

We are with you. Our hearts are broken over the unnecessary violence that occurred yesterday in our beloved city. As people of faith, we are praying hard for those most impacted: for the loss of a life, for the many injured, and for thousands who are scarred from their experience. We are also praying for the ways for God to use us as instrument of peace and healing. If you need to talk to someone please reach out to us.

Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday starts the beginning of Lent. We hope you can join us at Good Shepherd as we come together throughout the day. Click the link in our bio to learn more about Ash Wednesday at Good Shepherd 🤍
