Meetups & Things
Upcoming EVENTS
We believe in time spent with God, with others, and serving others.
Join us as we gather with our church body and our community in these upcoming events.
The Table
The Table is a three-session gathering where we come together to share stories, explore how God has uniquely wired each of us, and find your place in the Good Shepherd community. If you're ready to go from attending to belonging, we'd love to save you a seat.
Father's Day
This Father's Day, Sunday, June 21st, we're pulling out all the stops to honor the dads, grandfathers, and father figures in our lives. Join us for worship at 8am (Traditional) or 10am (Contemporary) — and stick around after the service for special food on the patio, a photo op, and a surprise gift for all the dads.
This is a morning worth celebrating together. Invite the father figures in your life and make it a Sunday to remember!
VBS Celebration Sunday
Continue the adventure of Vacation Bible School (VBS) by joining us the Sunday after! All the kids from our Preschool and community that attended VBS are gathering their families to worship with us. We’ll sing the songs we’ve sung all week, dive deeper into the week's lessons, and worship together. Following the service, we’ll have lunch, bounce houses, face painting, and more.
We kindly ask that you RSVP to ensure we have enough food for lunch!
