Shared Ministry with Our Savior's Lutheran Church

Good Shepherd and Our Savior's lutheran churches have entered into a two-year experiment in congregational collaboration with the purpose of :
  • Growing in community with each other and with our city.
  • Engaging a larger number of people in ministry opportunities, such as congregation care, youth ministry, faith formation, fellowship, and service.
  • Enabling a more efficient way for lay leaders and staff to utilize their gifts.
  • Cultivating sustainable and healthy ministry practices for our congregations and our pastors.
Welcome Pastor Nikki Rockne 
As part of our shared ministry experiment with Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Pastor Nikki will serve both Our Savior's and Good Shepherd through collaborative ministry in the areas of congregational care and youth.

Welcome to Good Shepherd.

Good Shepherd is a congregation gathered by the Spirit in a community of welcome, worship and grace, empowered as a community of risk takers daring to be the face of Christ for the hurting, and sent on a faith journey, inviting others to share and experience the Good News.

Whoever and Wherever you are, we invite you to journey with us.

Good Shepherd strives to be a church beyond the building. We are making new investments in online worship and community building to accompany our historic commitment to service in the community. We hope you will join us.
