There’s always something happening at Good Shepherd.

The Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd strives to extend Christ’s own radical hospitality to everything we do. Whether it’s an upcoming meeting, special service or noteworthy event, we work to build and strengthen relationships with one another and share the joy of life in community. Below is just some of what’s happening.

If you're planning an event at Good Shepherd, spread the word about your “happening” by telling us the details here.
