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 come by for a Sunday worship service or other activity, or just come by and visit us. We'll be glad to see you!

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.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, in conjunction with the FoodBank of Santa Barbara County, will distribute fresh fruits and vegetables as well as donated canned goods and other non-perishable items to those in need this Saturday, June 1st. Food is given out on a first come / first served basis beginning at 9:00 a.m. in front of the church.

Donations from the public of non-perishible food - or money for us to purchase items for distribution - are always welcome.
