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: Sunday at 9:00 am

All of our worship services at Shepherd are livestreamed via YouTube.
