Welcome Newcomers!
Welcome, and thanks for taking a moment to look over Good Shepherd and our ministry. We offer a wide variety of activities, many of which are listed in the menus above or in the What's News! listing to the right (or nearby on tablets or mobile devices).
We hope that you find answers to your questions and concerns about our church, our congregation and our ministries. Good Shepherd is all about exciting believers in Jesus Christ and proclaiming the good news that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior. If we can be of any help in your spiritual journey or with your spiritual needs, please don't hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We would be privileged to help you in any way that we possibly can.
Please feel free to join us (in person or on line) for a Sunday worship service or other activity, or just come by and visit us. We'll be glad to see you!

What We Believe
Our Values and Core Beliefs
Jesus died and rose for all. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
The Bible is God's True Word. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Word and Sacraments. "For it is sufficient for the true unity of the Christian church that the Gospel be preached in conformity to and with a pure understanding of it and that the Sacraments be administered in accordance with the divine Word." Article VII, Augsburg Confession.
November Sermon Series - "Bringing Out the Best"
November Sermon Series - "Bringing Out the Best"
When we celebrate special occasions with family and friends – occasions like Christmas or Easter, life events like baptisms, birthdays, confirmations,graduations, weddings, even funerals–we make a special effort to “bring out the best.” The best tableware. The best food. The best gifts. The best clothes. Why? Because special occasions with family and friends bring great joy and are deserving of the best. This year’s stewardship theme is “Bringing Out the Best. We rejoice that the heavenly Father has brought out the best by giving His Son, Jesus, as our Savior, and so we respond by “bringing out the best” in ourselves by the way we manage our financial resources, our abilities, and the time God has given to us to live as His people in the world. Our weekly “Bringing Out the Best” themes are:
November 10 “Money: The Problem with Money” (1Timothy 6:17-19)
November 17 “Talents: The Joy of Investing Yourself” (Matthew 25:14-30)
November 24 “Time: Maximizing Minutes for the Master” (Colossians 4:3, 5-6)
