The words that guide us. Guided by the Biblical witness to God s love, we are a community of disciples committed to worshipping God with all of our gifts and talents and to expressing our faith through prayer and acts of compassion. Our commitment to know and serve Christ calls us to care for all persons as well as to personal spiritual growth. The vision of The Church of the Good Shepherd is captured by the acronym NOW, which stands for Nurture, Outreach, and Worship. As a community of disciples bearing witness to the love of God expressed in Jesus Christ, worship is our primary task.
Worship forms our hearts and directs our discipleship.
Worship is the place we meet God and come to understand each other as brothers and sisters. We see all members of The Church of the Good Shepherd as involved in some form of our worship life. In addition, we see every member of our church family as involved in at least one small group ministry where his or her spiritual life can be nurtured. And finally, we see every member also engaged in at least one outreach ministry through which the love of God is extended to those outside our church family. NOW provides a vision of a healthy, balanced spiritual community.
