More than 800 Good Shepherd members participated in helping to pack over a MILLION MEALS so that 2748 starving children will have food to eat every day for the next year. Way to go Above & Beyond!

Guatemala Mission
The generosity of our church allows mission teams to go Above & Beyond around the world. Our Guatemala mission team helped to deepen the relationship we have with the community of Pueblo Modelo. Our team brought much needed shoes and water filters. They helped build a pila, which is a place where people can wash clothes with clean water. It also functions as a gathering place where the people of this divided community can come together. While they were there, the Christians in Guatemala washed the feet of our team in a powerful act of love and unity.

Eleven Worship Service
The generosity of our congregation is helping us go Above & Beyond in our worship services. Hear how we have been taking the eleven service to the next level to reach and transform lives.
Multicultural Worship
We had some guest musicians and singers from Honduras help lead worship at our Saturday 5:05 service. Songs were sung in English and Spanish. The leader of the group is Omar (he’s the guy with the beard in the middle). We first met Omar through a mission trip to Honduras. That’s also how Omar met his future wife who was a member of Good Shepherd. Now they are married and serving as missionaries. Omar and his band led a workshop with the ELCA to promote unity, justice, and multi-cultural awareness in the larger church.
Married People in Full Swing
One of our Above & Beyond goals was to start a marriage ministry. Our new Married People ministry, with its small group, large group, and date night experiences are helping hundreds of people heal divisions in their marriage while drawing closer to God and their spouse. To learn more about our marriage ministry and how to get involved, visit our Married People page on the website. You can also connect with us via our Facebook group.
Haiti Mission
The generosity of Good Shepherd helps missionaries go Above & Beyond. Dave and Laura Schubert just got back from Haiti, a community that has been torn apart by corruption, poverty, and natural disaster. Through the work of their mission, they were able to take care of dental needs, deliver food, and repair homes and churches. While they were there, Dave had the privilege of being the best man at a wedding of one of his Haitian friends. Isn't it neat how God brings people together?
