Our Mission
As the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, we witness boldly by living faithfully and serving joyfully.
Delighting in the steadfast love of God, we use the fullness of our gifts, our time and our resources in serving one another and the world. Nurtured by Word and Sacraments, we grow in community, prayer and the study of scripture. We practice our faithfulness as we engage culture and systems of power, serving as catalysts for God’s new creation.
Our Vision
To be One in the body of Christ where God’s transforming love is shared with All.
Through baptism, we are made one in the body of Christ where all are valued and gifted. We are drawn outward to share Jesus’ message to embody God’s love which renews us as people of peace, hope and joy.
Worship
We express and explore our faith by engaging in purposeful, spiritual worship that integrates dynamic use of liturgy, music and learning.
Our Core Values
Generosity
We share abundantly our God-given resources, time and talents with each other and with those in need in our local and global communities.
Compassion
We accompany all with understanding and kindness, especially those who are suffering, marginalized or alone.
Community
We welcome everyone in fellowship and actively join with others in caring for our world.
Justice
We seek to fulfill the Lord’s command to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God. (Micah 6:8)
