Welcome
Each one of us is on a journey: a journey of life and a journey of faith. At Shepherd of the Cross, we are committed to walking this journey together: with Christ and with one another.
Especially in this season of the church year, our journey takes us into the wilderness. The wilderness is often seen as a harsh environment, and it might not be the first place we choose to venture! But within the wilderness we learn who we are, we learn who God is, we learn how to take the next step, how to find comfort with the unknown, and how to trust God’s call.
So if you’re looking for an honest crew of people to journey with you – regardless of if you find yourself in your own wilderness or in fields of green – come and join us. Join us as we prepare to experience afresh the news of Christ’s life for us and for the world, and join us as we are transformed to live as people of God’s garden, God’s Kingdom, and God’s life.
