What's Going on at Good Shepherd

Learning to be better neighbors

We are a neighborhood church that hasn't been the best neighbor. This summer, we are making efforts to get to know our neighbors better, learn what they care about, and hopefully dream together about how to make the neighborhood a better place for all.  Beyond the events above, you may see us walking around the neighborhood with shirts that read, "Gathered, Empowered, Sent." If you do, don't be afraid to say hello. We'd love to meet you.  
-Pastor Carl-Eric Gentes
