We believe that you’re never too young, or too old, to be growing in faith.
Welcome
When you come to Shepherd of the Cross, you’ll find people of all ages joined together in community around Christ. We believe that all people—regardless of age, gender, background, or race—are welcome to gather together to encounter God’s grace.
Still a relatively young congregation, we’re enthusiastic to see new faces. If we come up to say hello, and ask you to share a bit about yourself with us, know we’re genuinely interested in getting to know you and your story.
Just as our God lives in relationship with us, we too are created to live in community with each other. Come and join us, just as you are, as together we grow as disciples of Jesus.

Worship Bulletins
Holy Week Worship
Palm Sunday – March 24, 9:00 am
Worship begins with a procession of palms. Join us as we shout our hosannas to Christ and hail him as our King!
Maundy Thursday – March 28, 7:00 pm
Maundy Thursday worship centers on four elements: an opportunity to confess our sin and receive individual forgiveness; a command from Christ to serve one another as Christ served us; reception of the Lord’s Supper; and the stripping of the altar. Worship will prepare us to gather at Christ’s cross on Good Friday.
Good Friday – March 29, 7:00 pm
Together we’ll hear the story of Christ’s passion and death through a service of darkness.
Easter Sunday – March 31, 9:00 am
After the darkness of the past three days, we regather at Christ’s tomb to celebrate with the women the news that Christ is risen! Worship begins at 9:00 am. Fellowship from 8:00 – 8:45 am. Easter Egg Hunt at 8:30 am.
All are welcome!
