As disciples of Jesus, Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church believes we are called to be in relationship with God,with God’s people and with God’s world every day.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength … and your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22: 37, 39
“I came that you may have life and have it abundantly”
John 10:10
We will be intentional:
- to create an environment where ALL are welcome
- to share our rich Lutheran heritage of being Christ centered, Word and Sacrament driven, grace filled
- to provide opportunities to experience God in a variety of worship styles where music plays a vital role
- to celebrate communion where ALL are welcome at God’s table
- to continue learning and growing as we are nourished and challenged by God’s word; the first language of faith
- to encourage discovery of faith stories and articulate how God is working in lives
- to nurture children and youth as they discover God and their faith in settings which build community
- to encourage households to nurture faith at all times and in all places
- to provide a variety of small groups where community is experienced
- to encourage discovery of God given gifts and seek opportunities to share
- to connect with God’s people thru mission partnerships locally, nationally and globally
- to allow ourselves to be open and stretched by listening to the Holy Spirit
- to invite others to experience God
