Worship

Here at Good Shepherd we desire to be a community that provides opportunities for Lutheran Worship that are relevant, diverse, and creative. We are driven to worship God in both Spirit and Truth. We believe that the Sabbath is a day of rest given to us by God for renewal, reflection, and response. We believe that worship is more than what we do on Sunday morning, it is a way of life. As Lutherans we believe that worship should be grounded in the special gifts of God, His Word and Sacraments (Baptism and the Lord's Supper). As such, they are a regular part of our worship Life. The central truth flowing through all of our services is that "we preach Christ crucified." (see John 14 — 16; Romans 12:1-2; Acts 2:42-47; Romans 10)

9:00 a.m.. – Traditional Lutheran Worship:

In this service we make use of the traditional liturgies found within the Lutheran Service Book as hymns, prayers, and communion.
The majority of our music is on the organ and contains lots of congregational singing.

11:00 a.m.. – Contemporary Lutheran Worship:

In this service we make use of modern liturgies and music. This service is less formal and very open. We use both modern and ancient hymns/music. Sometimes we also use movie clips, drama, and art to convey our message for the day. Our praise team leads the music for this service.

Each week at Good Shepherd we celebrate the Lord's Supper. We celebrate this ancient meal as a continual remembrance of the sacrifice Jesus made for each of us and to be strengthened and forgiven. At Good Shepherd we believe that in the Lord's Supper we receive the body and blood of Christ which was broken for us on the cross. The Lord's Supper along with Baptism is one of the
unique mysteries of God. (see Matthew 26:26-28; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29)

If you are new to the Lutheran faith please contact us beforehand about celebrating the Lord's Supper.
