Hospitality & Fellowship

​Surely the presence of the Lord
is in this place.

I can feel His mighty power
and His grace.
I can hear the brush of angels wings.
I see glory on each face.

Surely the presence of the Lord
​is in this place.

Lyrics by Lanny Wolfe (1977)

Greeters and Newcomer Ministries

​The people of Good Shepherd welcome you! We are grateful you have come to worship with us.  Please ask an usher for a newcomer packet on your way out of worship.  If you are new to our community, or already settled and looking for a church home, we invite you to take time to get to know us and let us know you as well. As a relatively new mission congregation, we focus on worship, education, and outreach.  We also enjoy an active, fun-filled parish life with dinners, picnics, barbeque suppers, and receptions from time to time. We invite those coming to Good Shepherd from other denominations and anyone who would like to learn more about ministry and spiritual life at Good Shepherd to contact us via email.  You will receive a prompt response.
