Faith Formation
What does it mean to be Christian, not just on Sundays but every day? Faith formation is about equipping people to live more faithfully as disciples of Jesus - at home, at work, in our community, and in the world. Through classes, retreats, discussion groups, and spending time in meaningful relationship with one another, we grow in our faith, develop a deeper understanding of the Bible, learn new spiritual practices, and talk about important issues facing one another and our world.
​
Currently, our Adult Formation classes are being offered on Zoom on Sunday mornings. Contact the church office if you have any questions.​
Good Shepherd is home to many amazing local artists who understand the important role that art plays in our intellectual, emotional, and spiritual lives. We have a rotating exhibit of art pieces on display in our hallway, showcasing the work of parishioners along with other well-known artists.
Barbara and Emma continue their stellar interest-based Formation group with a series of conversations about what it means to share our stories as part of the Jesus Movement. Graphic novels, books, and original stories frame the time together.
Taking issues from the day's headlines and asking how we address them as people of faith, The Wired Word is a thought-provoking class that welcomes all views and experiences. You are bound to learn something new each time!

Tuesday Bible Study
Want to get a jump on the Gospel for next Sunday? Come by the parlor every Tuesday at 9:00 am, as we explore the text from various translations and ask: 1) What is it saying to its own time? 2) What is it saying to me? 3) What is it saying to the Church and the world? If you can't make it in-person, you can join us over Zoom.
Children's Choir ​
Children's choir rehearsal meets in the Choir Room at 10:00 am every Sunday morning. All children are invited to attend! The Children's Choir sings once a month at our 10:30am Sunday morning worship service, which is always an adorable and uplifting experience for all. No prior singing or musical experience is needed!
Our new Children's Chapel is "church for kids by kids!" With a little adult supervision,
our youngest members share lessons and bible stories together from 9:30-10:00 am on
Sundays. It's organized chaos, but it's so much fun!
Nursery​
During our 10:30am Sunday worship service, nursery care is available for infants and toddlers ages 0-4, and children ages 3-7 are invited to attend worship in the sanctuary. Ushers will come by to bring your little one in for Communion!
Our Parish Life Team, made up of the men of the church, are in charge of cooking for our Pancake Supper on Shrove Tuesday and our Pentecost Picnic. On occasion they will also welcome guest speakers and have other get togethers.
One important way we fulfill our mission to "spread the Good News" and educate others about our faith is through online communication. Through this website, our Facebook page, YouTube channel, and Instagram , we are able to share the experience of being at Good Shepherd with those who are not able to be physically present with us, and reach out to those who may be considering joining us for the first time. If you are tech savvy and want to be part of this ministry, please let us know!
