A few years ago, when the leadership of Shepherds came together to shape a new mission statement, everything centered on one clear calling: to connect people to the love, light, and hope of Jesus Christ.

As we step into a new year, our leadership knew it was essential to return to those same foundations—to ground ourselves again in what matters most: the love, the light, and the hope of Jesus Christ.

Our mission is simple, but it’s vital.

With God’s help, we embrace and connect with all people, and together we experience the love, light, and hope of Jesus Christ.

May we be a church that shows up when it matters most— a church that loves in the nick of time.
