Local Outreach

in the Community

The local church has the ability to address numerous societal challenges. Partner with us in fostering positive change within the communities around us.

Ministry
THROUGH SERVICE

From feeding those in need to offering support and resources to families, Good Shepherd is dedicated to providing care and encouragement to our neighbors. Through partnerships with local organizations, food pantries, and community service projects, we’re able to build relationships and bring hope to those in our community.

Check this page regularly for quarterly and monthly ways you can serve alongside us.

Backpack Donation Drive

Collecting June 15 & 22

Alaska may be known for its natural beauty, but it's also one of the least church-attending states in the U.S.—a true mission field in need of hope and support. Each summer, a team from Good Shepherd travels to Anchorage to partner with Graceworks Alaska and lead a Vacation Bible School that brings the love of Jesus to local kids. This year, you can be part of the impact by donating backpacks!

This year, we’re aiming to collect 60 backpacks to bless the children we’ll serve.

Backpacks can be purchased through our Amazon Wish List or dropped off on the Church Patio Sunday Morning June 15 & 22. Help us equip kids in Anchorage with the supplies they need—and remind them they are seen, loved, and supported.

Curious about serving on our Dominican Republic Medical Mission Trip? Join us for an Interest Lunch where you’ll hear how our mission teams bring hope and healing to communities along the Haitian border—where access to healthcare is scarce, but Christ’s love shines bright. You’ll learn about the medical, dental, and educational care we provide, how we partner with local clinics for lasting impact, and the life-changing experiences that come from serving together. Whether you’re ready to apply or simply want to learn more, this is the perfect opportunity to explore how you can be part of this meaningful work.
